Missouri Sales Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works
Missouri Sales and Use Tax is administered by the state and includes a defined statewide tax component that applies to transactions falling within the scope of Missouri sales and use tax law. In addition to the state-level structure, Missouri law authorizes certain local jurisdictions, such as cities, counties, and designated districts, to impose their own sales taxes. These local taxes operate alongside the state system and can affect the total tax due depending on location. Official administration and guidance are provided by the Missouri Department of Revenue.
Examples
A simplified state-level estimate reflects only the Missouri state portion of sales and use tax. Because local jurisdictions may impose additional taxes, a state-only estimate represents only part of the overall tax structure and does not reflect location-specific additions that may apply in practice.
Limitations and important notes
Results are simplified estimates and may not match the final tax due on a specific transaction. This content describes only the general structure of Missouri’s state-level sales and use tax and does not determine whether a transaction is taxable, which local jurisdictions may impose additional taxes, or how sourcing rules apply. Local rates, exemptions, and transaction-specific factors can materially affect the final amount due.
FAQs about Missouri Sales Tax Calculator 2026
What does the Missouri state sales tax component represent?
It represents the statewide portion of Missouri Sales and Use Tax administered by the state. This component applies uniformly at the state level and forms one part of the overall sales and use tax system.

While Missouri administers a statewide sales and use tax component, state law allows local jurisdictions to impose additional sales taxes. These local taxes vary by location and can change the total tax due on a transaction.
Does Missouri apply sales tax and use tax under the same system?
Yes. Missouri administers sales tax and use tax together as part of a unified system. Sales tax generally applies to taxable retail sales, while use tax addresses taxable uses when sales tax was not collected.
