Kansas City and St. Louis charge a 1% earnings tax on residents and on people who work there. Enter your local rate in the calculator if it applies to you.
A real Missouri pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
In Missouri, about $2,269 every two weeks (26 paychecks) or $2,459 twice a month (24 paychecks) for a single filer, before 401(k) and insurance deductions.
For a single filer paid every two weeks: about $54 on $50k, $145 on $100k and $235 on $150k a year in salary. The share rises with pay because Missouri's rates are graduated.
