Take-home pay in Kansas
Estimate what a salary in Kansas (KS) becomes after federal tax, ≈5.2% effective state income tax estimate, FICA, typical benefits, and optional commute costs.
Kansas withholds state income tax. StubRate’s ~5.2% effective rate is a teaching number for Overland Park corporate jobs, Wichita aviation and healthcare, and Topeka government work.
Missouri and Kansas City-area residents often compare both state pages. Tax home and office address both matter; this page assumes Kansas residency.
Sample: $85,000 single filer in Kansas → about $4,965/mo net (70.1% stub rate) and $4,787/mo after a modest hybrid commute and lunches. Assumptions: 5% 401(k), $140/month health, three office days, 12 miles each way.

Income tax in Kansas
State income tax is the Kansas-specific line. StubRate does not model every credit or local occupational tax. Federal tax and FICA still apply.
If you live in Kansas and work in Missouri (or the reverse), do not assume one calculator covers both. Run each state, then get payroll to confirm withholding.
Every U.S. W-2 wage still faces federal income tax and FICA (Social Security plus Medicare). Kansas’s difference is the state line—and any local wage tax if your city charges one.

Living and commuting in Kansas
Johnson County housing is not Wichita housing. I-35 and I-70 commutes are car-based. Downtown Kansas City, Missouri parking and lunches may belong on the job-cost side even if you sleep in Kansas.
Enter the miles you would actually drive on office days, especially for a KC metro offer.
Common job markets on this page: Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City, Topeka, Olathe. Housing and office days change true stub rate more than a small difference in the state tax shortcut.
Compare two offers if one job is in Kansas and the other is elsewhere—or if commute days differ.
