Scope

What this calculator leaves out

Kansas — state layer

  • Two brackets since Senate Bill 1 (2024): 5.20% up to $23,000 of taxable income and 5.58% above; the Department of Revenue confirmed the revenue trigger for a further rate cut was not met for 2026
  • The personal exemption jumped from $2,250 to $9,160 under Senate Bill 1; with the $3,605 standard deduction the combined single-filer allowance is $12,765
  • A $2,320 exemption per dependent exists but is not modelled
  • Kansas amounts are set by statute and are not inflation-indexed

Federal layer — summary

  • Federal income tax only; state income taxes are handled on separate state pages
  • Standard deduction for a single filer; itemised deductions not modelled
  • 2026 brackets and standard deduction per IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32; TCJA rates made permanent by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
  • Social Security wage base 2026: $184,500 (SSA); no Social Security tax above the cap
  • top_threshold is the gross income at which the 37% band starts ($640,600 taxable + $16,100 standard deduction)
