How to Calculate Missouri Unemployment Benefits
If you are a part of the unemployed in Missouri, you can use Missouri's Department of Labor online unemployment benefits calculator to determine your projected unemployment benefit amount. The online calculator can determine unemployment benefits for completely unemployed individuals, and partial unemployment benefits for part-time workers. The calculator determines a weekly benefit based on the average of your two highest earning quarters during the period you plan to file. Understand that calculating your projected unemployment benefit amount does not solidify your eligibility. You must still complete an unemployment application to determine your eligibility to receive unemployment benefits.
