What You’d Have After Taxes with a $100,000 Salary in Missouri

Do you daydream about what it would be like if your salary were six figures? A vast majority in Missouri don't earn that much, but you'd probably be more than a little surprised by just how little you'd take home if you reached that level of wealth in your life.

If you already earn more than $100K per year in Missouri, congratulations and you can feel free to disregard this because you likely already know what the reality is. Go Banking Rates just shared how much your take home pay would be if you earned $100,000 in each state. The reality for Missouri is somewhat jarring.

What is the money you get to keep after taxes if your salary is $100,000 in Missouri?

For a single person with no other deductions, your fun money after taxes is $74,565. That means the FICA guy and other tax fiends are pocketing a cool $25,435.

It will vary slightly depending on your Missouri state tax, social security, medicare, etc.

The government pockets roughly a quarter of what you would make. Is it just me or does it seem like the system punishes you the harder you work and the better you do? I would not be complaining about a six figure salary. It would be a lovely problem to have, but I bet I'm not alone thinking that it would result in a better net result than what the real numbers show.
