## FAQ

### What is the Kansas income tax rate?

Kansas taxes income at 5.2% to 5.58% in 2 brackets (single filers). For a single filer the schedule is 5.2% from $0, 5.58% above $23,000 of taxable income. These are the 2025 (the latest Kansas has published) rates.

### How is Kansas income tax calculated?

Start from federal adjusted gross income. Subtract the larger of the Kansas standard deduction and your itemized deductions, then the exemptions. Apply the rates to what is left and subtract any credits. The standard deduction is $3,605 single, $8,240 married filing jointly, $4,120 separately, and $6,180 head of household. The model takes a personal exemption of $9,160 ($18,320 joint), $2,320 for each dependent.

### Does Kansas have a local income tax?

This page has no local income tax for Kansas; if your city or county has one, add it yourself.

### What does this Kansas calculator leave out?

Uses the 2025 booklet amounts. It also leaves out state additions and subtractions to federal AGI (such as retirement or Social Security exclusions), part-year and nonresident returns, and credits such as child care, earned income, and tax paid to another state.

### Which tax year do the Kansas rates cover?

The page uses 2025 amounts, because Kansas had not published 2026 amounts when this page was built. They come from Kansas Department of Revenue.

### Which states have no income tax on wages?

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. They have no page of their own, because there is no wage income tax to work out; the state income tax calculator answers 0 for them. Federal income tax and Social Security and Medicare still apply.

### Is this the same as my paycheck withholding?

No. This is the tax for the whole year on your return. Your employer withholds by the state's own withholding formula, so your refund or balance due is the difference between the two.
