Frequently asked questions

Does Kansas pay more than the federal minimum wage?
Kansas’s statewide cash floor is $7.25 per hour versus the federal $7.25. Cities may be higher.
Where do occupation wages come from?
State occupation pages use BLS OEWS wages stored in US5. Occupations without a published median for this state are omitted — OEWS suppresses small samples.
Is OEWS the same as take-home pay?
No. OEWS medians are pre-tax occupational wages. Use the take-home calculator for a single-filer estimate after federal, state, and FICA.
