Facts used only for this example

Single filer, age 35, with no dependents, no blindness allowance and no one else able to claim the worker as a dependent.
The worker lives in Missouri all year and performs all relevant work there. No other state's tax is included.
No other income, adjustments, credits or itemized deductions apply. Employee 401(k), payroll HSA, health insurance and employer HSA contributions are all zero.
Ordinary wages come from one employer and are covered by Social Security and Medicare. No special tips or overtime deductions apply.
State payroll programs are excluded from this example.
City taxes, other payroll deductions, business taxes, fees and licensing charges are excluded. A zero selected-state personal income-tax amount does not establish zero total state or local tax.

Whole-dollar state planning uses the current statutory deduction, the 2026 rounding rule and retained 2025 deduction-line order. Actual 2026 federal schedule tax uses original wage cents; final federal/state return matching remains unproved.
