Kansas Tax Calculator

The Kansas (KS) Tax Calculator is updated for the 2026/27 tax year. It estimates Kansas state income tax along with federal income tax, FICA, and Medicare deductions. Kansas applies a progressive state income tax system with multiple brackets and a standard deduction structure that aligns with federal filing categories.

This calculator helps Kansas residents, part-year filers, and nonresidents working in the state to project their tax liability, refunds, and net income.
