Missouri Paycheck Calculator
Missouri annualizes wages, subtracts a standard deduction based on filing status and spouse employment, and applies the 2026 graduated withholding formula. Employers round the resulting pay-period withholding to the nearest whole dollar.

Taxes & payroll deductions
Each pay period is calculated separately. A dash means the current per-paycheck deductions exceed pay at that frequency. Annualized pay repeats the selected paycheck; actual yearly totals can differ near wage and contribution limits.
Local income taxes are not included in this estimate.
