The middle half of workers earned from $47,830 to $66,730 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

Caveat: the Kansas $9,160 personal exemption is from continuing official statute, not from the 2026 Form K-40ES itself, which refers the reader to the K-40 booklet for exemption amounts.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
