About Kansas paychecks & taxes
Kansas simplified to two brackets in a 2024 reform: 5.2% up to $23,000 of taxable income (single) and 5.58% above it. Since the second bracket starts low, most full-time workers effectively pay close to the top rate.
There are no local wage income taxes in Kansas, so state brackets plus federal and FICA cover the paycheck. Take-home pay lands slightly below the flat-tax states in the region.
