💡 Why your Missouri paycheck looks different
  • Local Earnings Tax: Residents or workers in Kansas City or St. Louis City pay an additional 1% tax on gross earnings.
  • State Tax: Missouri has a relatively low effective state tax rate (~4.8%) compared to national averages.
  • Retirement Exclusion: Missouri allows deductions for public pension and social security income, which can lower state withholding if you qualify.
  • Pre-Tax Deductions: Contributions to 401(k) and health insurance lower your taxable income for both Federal and State taxes.
