How each Missouri line is calculated

Missouri uses a statewide withholding line and the app now auto-generates the Kansas City and St. Louis earnings tax rows when the employee lives in or works in those cities.

MO Earnings Tax
Kansas City and St. Louis earnings taxes at 1% for residents and for nonresidents who work in the locality.

MO UI Contribution
Missouri unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned Missouri UI contribution rate and the current Missouri taxable wage base, so the calculator should capture those employer-specific values for an exact amount.
 Employer User supplied No cap

Official sources

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerAssignedRatePercent, EmployerTaxableWageBase, resident locality, work locality.
