Salary Calculator FAQ

How do you convert hourly rate to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) for a standard full-time annual salary. Example: $30/hr × 2,080 = $62,400/yr. For overtime weeks, use: (40 hrs × rate) + (OT hrs × rate × 1.5) × number of weeks.

How many working hours are in a year?

Standard full-time: 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Minus 10 federal holidays (80 hrs): 2,000 paid hours. Minus 2 weeks vacation (80 hrs): 1,920 hours actually worked. BLS uses 2,080 for hourly-to-annual conversions. Turnaround and shutdown workers can exceed 3,000 hours/yr with heavy overtime.

What is time-and-a-half overtime?

Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Example: $30/hr base · regular week = $1,200 (40 hrs) · one 10-hr OT week = $1,200 + ($30 × 1.5 × 10) = $1,200 + $450 = $1,650. Double time (2×) is not federally required but common in petrochemical and union contracts.

Missouri Salaries

How Missouri salaries compare to the national market

Missouri trade wages run about 7% below the national median (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.93 Missouri wage index to national medians. The two big-river metros carry the market: Kansas City and St. Louis union building trades pay 4-5% above the state figure on stadium, data-center and defense-plant work, while Springfield and the Ozarks run well below it. Missouri's income tax tops out at 4.8% and keeps phasing down, and Kansas City and St. Louis each withhold a 1% city earnings tax from wages earned there.

Who pays the Kansas City and St. Louis earnings taxes?

Anyone who lives or works in either city. Both levy a flat 1% on wages, residents pay on everything, non-residents pay on wages earned inside the city line, which matters for trades rotating across metro job sites. The rest of Missouri has no local wage tax, so a suburban job site can be worth 1% more in take-home than one downtown.

What is driving trade work in Missouri right now?

Kansas City has ridden the Panasonic battery plant at De Soto (just across the Kansas line), data centers, and stadium and airport work; St. Louis runs on defense and aerospace, Boeing's fighter production, the new NGA West federal campus, plus hospital systems. Union halls in both metros dispatch at rates above the state median.

How accurate is the Missouri benchmark in this calculator?

The calculator applies a Missouri wage index (0.93×) to national BLS OEWS medians, a reference estimate, not a quote. Kansas City and St. Louis union scale runs above the state figure while southern Missouri runs well below it. For exact BLS state and metro medians with percentiles, use the Missouri salary guide.

What is the median trade salary in Missouri?

It varies by role: the Missouri electrician median is about $58,770, plumbers $59,330, HVAC technicians $56,740, and pipefitters $59,330 (BLS OEWS May 2025, Missouri-adjusted). Enter your own pay in the calculator to see your percentile against any role.

How is the Missouri wage index applied?

National BLS OEWS medians are multiplied by a 0.93 Missouri factor to localise them, reflecting that Missouri gross pay runs about 7% below the national average. Hourly figures assume 2,080 paid hours a year. It is a reference estimate, not an employer offer.

Which Missouri metros pay trades the most?

Kansas City edges out St. Louis at the top on battery-plant, data-center and airport work; both metros pay 4-5% above the state median on union commercial scale. Columbia sits about 8% below the state figure, and Springfield and the Ozark counties run lowest in a largely non-union market.

Do Missouri trade wages include overtime?

The benchmark medians are base pay. Missouri follows the federal FLSA standard of 1.5x after 40 hours a week, and megaproject and outage schedules generate steady overtime in both big metros. This calculator lets you add overtime hours at 1.5x (or 2x) to model total annual pay.
