Sales Tax Calculator, Dixon, MO

What shoppers pay in Dixon, MO

Dixon is a smaller Missouri community, with roughly 1,232 residents. Missouri charges a 4.22% state sales tax, and counties, cities and special districts add their own levies on top. Across the state those local add-ons average 4.06%, bringing the typical combined rate to 8.29%.

Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Dixon at $50,260, or about $967 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $41.42 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $165.70. That larger figure works out to roughly 17% of a week's median household income here, which is why timing a big appliance or furniture purchase around a sales tax holiday can be worth the wait.

One caveat matters before you budget from these numbers. The 8.29% above is a statewide average, not a rate we can confirm for a specific Dixon address. Because special districts draw their own boundaries, two addresses a few streets apart can fall under different combined rates. For a purchase where the difference matters, check the rate lookup published by the Missouri revenue department for the exact delivery address. Groceries are taxable in Missouri, so the rate applies to a weekly food shop as well.
