Kansas: 2026 income limits & Fair Market Rents
Use this Kansas reference to find your next housing-help step. The statewide table below is background data, not the income cutoff for your address. Voucher rules use local limits and your family's details.
Check your county before using a statewide number
- Open the county income-limit checker. Choose Kansas, your county, and your family size.
- Compare the correct local row with your annual income. For example, a family of three should use its county's three-person row, not the statewide four-person figure.
- Ask a Kansas housing office which limit applies, what income counts, and whether it is accepting applications. Being under a limit does not guarantee a voucher.
Already have a voucher? Ask your housing office for its payment standard and rent-share calculation before signing a lease.
Statewide income reference — not your local eligibility cutoff
State median family income: $101,300. These statewide, unadjusted tiers are reference figures. HUD's local limits include adjustments; do not calculate a personal eligibility limit by multiplying the state median. Source check: 2026-07-20 source
| Household | Extremely low (30%) | Very low (50%) | Low (80%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $21,300 | $35,500 | $56,750 |
| 2 people | $24,350 | $40,550 | $64,850 |
| 3 people | $27,400 | $45,600 | $72,950 |
| 4 people | $30,400 | $50,650 | $81,050 |
| 5 people | $32,850 | $54,750 | $87,550 |
| 6 people | $35,300 | $58,800 | $94,050 |
| 7 people | $37,700 | $62,850 | $100,550 |
| 8 people | $40,150 | $66,900 | $107,000 |
Actual limits are set per county/metro area and can differ from the statewide figures above — use HUD's official lookup for your county, or ask your local Public Housing Agency.
