How much is Kansas state income tax?

No local income tax applies in Kansas, so the state figure above is the whole of it.

Is Kansas a high-tax state overall?

On income, Kansas takes 4.51% of a $75,000 salary. But the whole burden is three taxes: sales tax here is 8.71% combined, 9th of fifty, and property tax 1.21%, 13th of fifty. Both are in the heavier half, so a low income tax rate is not the whole picture.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

Form K-4 is what sets your state withholding

Kansas allowances are separate from federal ones and a K-4 is required — the employer may not apply your federal W-4 to state withholding.

What Kansas charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in Kansas
Sales tax, state plus average local	8.71%	9th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	1.21%	13th of fifty

The state rate is 6.5% and local jurisdictions add 2.21% on average, reaching 8.71% where you shop. At 1.21% that is about $4,840 a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

Kansas has two bands, 5.2% and 5.58%, and the second starts at only $23,000 of taxable income, so most full-time workers pay the top rate on the bulk of their pay.
The personal exemption is unusually large at $9,160 single and $18,320 married, which offsets the high entry rate.
Social security benefits became fully exempt from Kansas tax in 2024 regardless of income.
