Kansas Paycheck Calculator
Two brackets, 5.2% and 5.58%, after a $3,605 standard deduction and a $9,160 personal exemption for single filers.
Kansas taxes the first $23,000 of taxable income at 5.2% and the rest at 5.58% ($46,000 for married couples filing jointly). Before the rates apply, a single filer subtracts a $3,605 standard deduction and a $9,160 personal exemption; a married couple filing jointly subtracts $8,240 and $18,320. Kansas law sets these amounts for 2024 and later years, and there's no rate cut for 2026.

Kansas Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Kansas
What is the Kansas state income tax rate for 2026?
5.2% on the first $23,000 of Kansas taxable income and 5.58% above that for single, head-of-household and married-filing-separately filers; on a joint return the first bracket runs to $46,000. Kansas law sets these rates for 2024 and later. The state can lower them when revenue beats a target, but the Department of Revenue announced there will be no rate reduction for tax year 2026.
What are the Kansas standard deduction and personal exemption?
The standard deduction is $3,605 single, $8,240 married filing jointly, $6,180 head of household and $4,120 married filing separately (the separate amount is from the 2025 Kansas instructions). The personal exemption is $9,160, or $18,320 on a joint return, and a head of household gets an extra $2,320, for $11,480. Kansas tells a qualifying widow(er) to file as head of household, so the calculator gives that status the $6,180 deduction but only the $9,160 exemption: the law gives the extra $2,320 to a federal head of household, which a surviving spouse isn't.
How much Kansas tax is withheld from a bonus?
5% if your employer pays the bonus separately and figures federal withholding as a percentage of it. If the bonus is added to your regular wages, Kansas withholding is figured the regular way on the total.
What does this calculator leave out for Kansas?
Kansas starts from federal adjusted gross income, so pre-tax deductions change your Kansas taxable income; the calculator starts from gross wages. It also leaves out itemized deductions, the extra standard deduction at 65 or older or blind ($850 single or head of household, $700 married), dependent exemptions ($2,320 each), the disabled veteran exemption and credits such as the food sales tax credit.
