titleWhy wasn't I paid more? My account statement shows a higher balance.

The amount of money raised in MTD goes toward much more than just a missionary's take-home pay.

Example:

  • In January, $3,000 comes into the account you are responsible for.
  • $360 goes toward the Admin fee
  • $21 goes toward credit card transaction fees (this amount varies based on giving by credit card)
  • $400 goes toward your insurance coverages

This leaves you with a $2,219 ending balance available for next month's payroll (before taxes).

Of that $2,219 ending balance:

  • $342 goes toward FICA ($171 for the employee portion and $171 for the employer portion)
  • $100 goes toward federal taxes
  • $40 goes toward state taxes

This leaves you with $1,747 paid into your bank account on payday.

Tip

Pay stubs are typically available for viewing 3-5 business days before the pay date. January pay stubs may be delayed due to the tight processing timeline.

titleWhat is Gross Paygross pay?

Gross pay is the total of all of your pay types for the month. Once all the deductions are taken out, your net pay is what is deposited into your bank account on pay daypayday.

titleWhy are my taxes so high this month?

Your gross pay is larger than usual. Increases in gross pay can be because of: 

  • A large taxable reimbursement
  • Back pay paid 
  • A bonus

Your Payroll Options

Request an Optional Payroll Bonus for Taxable Reimbursement Expenses

  • Designed to help offset taxes you're paying on the paycheck due to the reimbursement, in hopes of making your paycheck closer to the "normal" amount you receive  
  • The optional 20% bonus is added to your paycheck. (It's not paid to you when the reimbursement is paid.)
  • It helps with taxes, but the bonus is also taxed. 
  • The bonus comes from the MTD account you are responsible for.
  • When completing your reimbursement form, you will be asked if you would like to receive the taxable reimbursement bonus.

Request fewer taxes withheld.

If you expect a large paycheck, you can request that fewer taxes be withheld by emailing payroll@reliant.org. See Taxes and W-2s for more information.
