How Kansas taxes your income in 2026

Kansas collapsed its three old brackets into two in a 2024 special session: single filers pay 5.2% on taxable income up to $23,000 and 5.58% above it; joint filers hit the 5.58% rate above $46,000. The standard deduction is $3,605 for single filers, $8,240 for joint filers, and $6,180 for head of household. Because the top rate starts at a relatively low income, most full-time workers pay an effective rate close to 5.58% on their marginal dollars.

No more grocery tax, no local income tax

Kansas completed the phase-out of its state sales tax on food in January 2025 — meaningful relief, since Kansas had been one of the few states taxing groceries at the full rate. Kansas cities and counties levy no local income taxes. Social Security benefits are exempt for filers with federal adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less; above that, benefits become partially taxable at the state level.

What this calculator includes (and excludes)

This estimate covers federal income tax, FICA, and Kansas income tax using the 2026 two-bracket schedule and standard deduction. It does not model personal exemptions, the Social Security income threshold, itemized deductions, or credits such as the Kansas food sales tax credit. Figures are estimates for planning purposes, not tax advice.
