Estimate Your Take-Home Pay
2027 figures are projected. Federal brackets and the standard
deduction are computed from chained CPI-U through August 2026. The Social Security
wage base is the SSA's official figure. State figures carry 2026 values
except where a 2027 rate is already enacted, so state tax may be slightly
overstated. Official IRS figures publish in October.

Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same thing. Biweekly means every other Friday —
26 paychecks a year, so two months each year contain three paydays. Semi-monthly means twice a month
(often the 15th and the last day) — 24 slightly larger paychecks. On a $40,000 salary in Kansas,
that difference is about $105 per check.
Annual take-home is identical either way.
Single filer, no pre-tax deductions. Divides annual take-home evenly; real paychecks vary slightly with withholding rounding and benefit deductions.
What's different about a Kansas paycheck
Withholding tracks the return closely
The KW-100 percentage tables, in effect since July 1, 2024, build in the $3,605 standard deduction and the 5.2% and 5.58% brackets, and the K-4 allowance subtracts the $9,160 personal exemption ($18,320 married). For a single employee with no other income, a year of withholding lands close to the actual tax.
No K-4 means single with no allowances
If you never turn in a Form K-4, your employer must withhold as if you were single with no allowances. Heads of household can claim an extra $2,320 allowance, and each dependent adds $2,320.
Bonuses paid separately: 5%
If your employer pays a bonus separately and withholds federal tax at a flat percentage, Kansas withholding is 5% of the payment. A $10,000 bonus paid that way arrives as about $6,535 after the federal 22%, Kansas, Social Security, and Medicare. Added to a regular paycheck instead, it is withheld through the normal tables.
Working in Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City, Missouri charges a 1% earnings tax on everyone who works in the city, wherever they live, and employers there withhold it. A Johnson County resident earning $75,000 at a Kansas City, Missouri office pays about $750 a year in city tax on top of Kansas income tax. The calculator doesn't include it.
Minimum wage
Kansas's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, the same as the federal rate. Full-time that is $15,080 a year, about $13,806 after taxes.
For the annual picture, including capital gains, credits, and filing deadlines, see the Kansas income tax calculator.
