Kansas's two-bracket ladder (5.2%–5.58%): what comes out of each 2026 check
Kansas uses graduated 2026 state income-tax brackets, so higher pay is taxed at higher marginal rates after the state deduction. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Kansas take-home pay.
Kansas uses a graduated income tax with 2 brackets for 2026, with marginal rates ranging from 5.2% to a top rate of 5.58% (which applies to single-filer taxable income above $23,000). For 2026, Kansas's state standard deduction plus personal exemption is $12,765 for single filers and $26,560 for married couples filing jointly. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $2,548 in Kansas income tax (roughly 4.2% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.
What this estimate doesn't include: Kansas has no local/city income tax on wages. This estimate includes Kansas's personal exemption, added to the standard deduction: $9,160 single, $18,320 married filing jointly and $11,480 head of household, because a head-of-household filer gets an extra $2,320. With the standard deduction ($3,605, $8,240 and $6,180) that comes to $12,765, $26,560 and $17,660. The extra $2,320 exemption for each dependent is not included. Kansas itemized deductions, tax credits (e.g. child/dependent care), and the additional standard deduction for filers age 65+ or blind are not modeled. City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those.
Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.

One Kansas payroll quirk worth knowing
- Kansas localities can tax interest and dividend income via a local 'intangibles tax' (Form 200, filed with the county clerk), but it explicitly excludes wages, so a paycheck shows no local withholding.
Kansas stays on the federal $7.25 minimum wage in 2026
$7.25/hour (≈$15,080/year full-time). Kansas statutory minimum wage equals the federal $7.25/hr; no change for 2026.
Is overtime and tips tax-free in Kansas? Federally yes, but Kansas still taxes both
For tax years 2025 to 2028 there is a federal deduction for qualified overtime premium pay and tips (OBBBA caps & rules). FICA comes out either way.
Kansas state income tax: Kansas has not adopted the federal tips/overtime deductions for state income tax as of mid-2026, so they reduce your federal tax only. (source: admin.ks.gov)
- Overtime: 2025 — not deductible on your Kansas return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — not deductible on your Kansas return (still state-taxed).
- Tips: 2025 — not deductible on your Kansas return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — not deductible on your Kansas return (still state-taxed).

Your paycheck vs the $75,514 Kansas median
| Median household income (2024) | $75,514 |
| Take-home (single filer) | ≈$58,540 |
No city or county income tax anywhere in Kansas
No Kansas city or county levies a local income tax on wages. Some counties, cities and townships do levy a local 'intangibles tax' on income from intangible property (bank interest, dividends, CD earnings) — filed on Form 200 with the county clerk by April 15 if $5+ is due — but it does NOT apply to wages/salary, so it never appears in payroll withholding.
