Kansas income tax, explained
Kansas simplified its income tax to two brackets in a 2024 reform: 5.20% on taxable income up to $23,000 ($46,000 for married couples filing jointly) and 5.58% on income above that.
Kansas gives you both a standard deduction ($3,605 for single filers, $8,240 for joint) and a sizable personal exemption ($9,160 single, $18,320 joint, plus $2,320 per dependent). This estimate combines the standard deduction and the filer's personal exemption; if you claim dependents, your actual Kansas tax will be a little lower.
