Kansas Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Kansas applies a progressive state income tax with rates from 3.1% to 5.7% across three brackets. Recent legislative debate has focused on flattening or trimming the schedule, but the bracket structure remains in place for 2026. Kansas has no State Disability Insurance program funded by employee payroll deductions, and no Kansas city levies a separate local income tax on wages. Kansas City, Missouri's 1% earnings tax applies to non-residents who work in KCMO, including Kansans who commute across the state line to Missouri-side employers. State revenue is supported by sales tax and property tax in addition to income tax, neither of which appears on paycheck withholding. This calculator estimates 2026 Kansas take-home pay after federal tax, FICA, and the state's progressive income tax. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions, single and married filing jointly, and standard or itemized deductions.
