Kansas Overtime Rules
Kansas pays overtime after 40 hours a week at 1.5× for the vast majority of workers, who are covered by the federal FLSA. Kansas's own state law sets a higher 46-hour threshold, but it only applies to the small number of employers the FLSA doesn't reach.
- 1.5× pay after 40 hours for FLSA-covered employees (most workers).
- Kansas state law uses a 46-hour weekly threshold for employers not covered by the FLSA.
- No daily overtime or double time under Kansas law.
Because the federal 40-hour rule covers most employers, that's what this calculator uses. The Kansas Department of Labor administers the state's 46-hour rule for the few employers it covers.
The Kansas minimum wage is $7.25/hour (tipped minimum $2.13). Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.

The Kansas Department of Labor handles the state rule, while FLSA overtime claims go to the U.S. Department of Labor. For most workers the 40-hour weekly rule applies.
