How Kansas taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a standard deduction of $3,605 for a single filer and $8,240 for joint filers and a personal exemption of $9,160 ($18,320 joint). Kansas has two rates, 5.2% and 5.58%. The personal exemption on the January 2026 table is large relative to the standard deduction, so the taxable wage is much lower than gross pay. This is the statutory structure, not the KW-100 withholding table. Source: Kansas Department of Revenue.
What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Kansas has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
