Missouri uses a graduated income tax with brackets ranging from 2-4.8%. Lower income is taxed at lower rates, with the 4.8% top rate applying only to income in the highest bracket. This progressive structure means your effective state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate. In addition, some Missouri localities impose their own income tax, which stacks on top of the state rate. This is especially notable in areas like certain cities and counties. Always check your local rate when calculating total tax liability.
