Do Kansas City and St. Louis have local income taxes?
Yes. Both Kansas City and St. Louis levy a 1% local "earnings tax" on residents and on people who work in either city — this is in addition to Missouri's state income tax. The calculator above does not include this 1% local layer; add roughly 1% × your gross wages if you live or work in KC or STL.
How is take-home pay calculated?
Take-home pay is your gross salary minus federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base), and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on income above $200,000 for single filers). Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health insurance reduce the taxable portion further.
What's the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your last dollar earned — the top bracket your income reaches. Your effective rate is total tax divided by gross income, which is always lower than your marginal rate because earlier dollars are taxed at lower brackets.
