Understanding Kansas Taxes (2024)

Kansas uses a progressive income tax system with three tax brackets. This calculator helps estimate your take-home pay by considering state, federal, and FICA taxes.

Kansas State Income Tax

For 2024, Kansas has a three-bracket income tax system with rates ranging from 3.1% to 5.7%.

  • Tax Brackets (2024): For single filers, the rates are 3.1% on the first $15,000, 5.25% on income between $15,000-$30,000, and 5.7% on income over $30,000. For married filing jointly, these thresholds are doubled.
  • Standard Deduction: $3,500 for Single, $8,000 for Married Filing Jointly, $6,000 for Head of Household, and $4,000 for Married Filing Separately.
  • Personal Exemption Credits: Kansas offers a $2,250 tax credit per person in the household.

Kansas Tax Credits

Kansas offers several tax credits that may reduce your tax liability (not all are included in this calculator):

  • Food Sales Tax Credit: Available to residents with qualifying income below certain thresholds.
  • Child and Dependent Care Credit: Available to taxpayers who qualify for the federal credit.
  • Earned Income Credit: Equal to 17% of the federal earned income credit.

Federal Income Tax

Your federal income tax is calculated based on federal tax brackets, your filing status, deductions (standard or itemized), and allowances claimed on your W-4 form. Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) or HSA contributions reduce your federal taxable income.

FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare)

FICA taxes fund Social Security and Medicare. These are typically withheld by employers.

  • Social Security: 6.2% on income up to the annual limit ($168,600 for 2024).
  • Medicare: 1.45% on all income. An additional 0.9% Medicare tax applies to income above certain thresholds ($200,000 for Single, $250,000 for MFJ).

Other Kansas Taxes (Not Calculated Here)

While this calculator focuses on income taxes, be aware of other taxes in Kansas:

  • Sales Tax: Kansas has a state sales tax rate of 6.5%, with additional local taxes that can bring the total up to 10% in some areas.
  • Property Tax: Property taxes in Kansas are among the highest in the country, set at the local level.
  • No Estate or Inheritance Tax: Kansas does not impose estate or inheritance taxes.
