What else moves a paycheck in Missouri
Local income tax
Only two Missouri cities tax wages, but they are the two biggest: Kansas City and St. Louis each charge a 1% earnings tax, on residents wherever they work and on non-residents for the work they do inside the city. It is levied on gross earnings, so on an $80,000 salary it takes $800 a year. Everywhere else in Missouri there is no local income tax. It is not deducted above; your employer withholds it alongside the state tax.
State payroll deductions this estimate leaves out
Missouri has no employee-paid state disability or paid-leave programme, and unemployment insurance is paid by employers: no part of it can come out of your pay. The Kansas City and St. Louis earnings tax is the deduction to watch.
Minimum wage in Missouri
