This is Kansas state income tax. It uses the official percentage formula: your allowances ($9,160 a year in total) are subtracted from your pay for the period and the 5.2% and 5.58% rates are applied. Here we use the "Single" rate with 1 allowance, what Form K-4 gives with one job, no dependents.

The assumptions behind the estimate
Assumes you filed Form K-4 with one job, no dependents: single, "Single" rate with 1 allowance; head of household, "Single" rate with 3; married with one income in the household, "Joint" rate with 2. If you are married and your spouse also has income, the K-4 asks you to mark "Single" and your actual deduction will be higher.
What is not included
Kansas has no state payroll deductions for employees; no local tax is included.

Yes. This is Kansas state income tax.
Are there city or county taxes in Kansas?
We found no local taxes withheld from employee paychecks in Kansas.
Is overtime taxed more?
There is no special rate for overtime: it is added to your pay for the period and withholding is figured on the total, which is why the check grows less than you expect. From 2025 through 2028 you can deduct from federal income tax the extra half of your overtime (up to $12,500; $25,000 if married) if your income is under $150,000; it only lowers each paycheck's withholding if you entered it on your W-4.
How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
It uses the official 2026 withholding rules from the IRS and Kansas. It is still an estimate: your employer knows your W-4, your deductions and your year-to-date earnings. It is not tax or legal advice.
