State of Kansas
Kansas's fiscal year runs July 1 – June 30. This page summarizes the FY 2027 enacted budget (HB 2513), revenues, reserves, and debt from official state documents, with every figure labeled by basis and every gap disclosed.
The color bar above is a simplified bar in the Kansas flag colors — it is not a rendering of the flag, and the hex values are generic web values, not official specifications.
Overview
Kansas's fiscal year runs July 1 – June 30. The current fiscal year is FY 2027, July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027, funded by the FY 2027 budget approved by the 2026 Legislature in the Mega Budget Bill, HB 2513.
How to read the FY 2027 figures: the Legislature set aside the Governor's recommendation and passed its own budget; there was no traditional Omnibus bill in the 2026 session, so errors and policy bills identified late in the session went unfunded. Approved figures below are the Legislative Approved column of the Comparison Report, not the Governor's recommendation.

Enacted budget by fund source — HB 2513, FY 2027
| Fund source | FY 2027 approved |
|---|---|
| State General Fund | $10,750,653,598 |
| All other funds (federal, special revenue, highway, and all other sources) | $16,002,630,602 |
| All Funds | $26,753,284,200 |
The "all other funds" line is the arithmetic difference between the published All Funds and State General Fund totals (All Funds minus SGF); the Comparison Report publishes both totals, and the difference is exact. Prior-year comparison, same report: FY 2026 approved SGF $10,930,167,110; FY 2026 approved All Funds $27,791,550,525 — so FY 2027 approved spending is lower than FY 2026 on both measures.
State General Fund by function — sums exactly to $10,750.7 million
| Function ($ millions) | FY 2027 approved |
|---|---|
| General Government | $383.1 |
| Judiciary | $232.6 |
| Human Services (excluding caseloads) | $1,424.9 |
| Human Services Caseloads | $1,826.2 |
| K-12 Education | $4,995.7 |
| Higher Education | $1,200.2 |
| Public Safety | $668.8 |
| Agriculture & Natural Resources | $19.2 |
| Total SGF expenditures | $10,750.7 |
Enacted vs. recommended: the Governor's recommendation for FY 2027 was SGF $10,762,196,521 and All Funds $26,637,490,213. The Legislature approved $11,542,923 less SGF than recommended, but $115,793,987 more All Funds — the two totals moved in opposite directions. Never present the recommendation totals as the enacted budget.
Superseded figure warning: the pre-session KLRD State General Fund Profile 26-06 (January 2026) showed a FY 2027 ending balance of $2,269.8 million on $10,394.5 million of expenditures. That profile predates the session: FY 2026 approved spending came in higher than it estimated, so the FY 2027 beginning balance is $2,102.5 million, not $2,531.3 million, and the approved FY 2027 ending balance is $1,554.4 million (see Reserves). Do not quote the $2,269.8 million pre-session estimate as the approved balance.

Revenues by source — State General Fund
Two vintages, never blended: the budget-basis revenue total below is the April 2026 Consensus Revenue Estimate, as adjusted by the Legislature (Comparison Report outlook). The by-source detail table is the earlier November 13, 2025 Consensus Revenue Estimate — the estimate on which the session opened. Its tax total ($10,237.0 million) exceeds the April tax total ($10,199.5 million); the tables are different vintages and their totals are not interchangeable.
Budget-basis SGF revenues, FY 2027 — sums exactly to $10,202.6 million
| Revenue line ($ millions) | FY 2027 |
|---|---|
| Taxes | $10,199.5 |
| Interest | $275.0 |
| Agency earnings | $135.7 |
| All other transfers (net out) | −$407.6 |
| Total SGF revenues | $10,202.6 |
FY 2027 SGF revenues ($10,202.6 million) fall $548.1 million short of FY 2027 SGF expenditures ($10,750.7 million); the gap is covered by the beginning balance ($2,102.5 million), leaving the $1,554.4 million ending balance in Reserves.

Largest all-funds agency groups — FY 2027 Legislative Approved
Partial table. Only the two largest groups are shown in full agency detail below. They do not sum to the $26,753,284,200 All Funds total — the Comparison Report's Schedule 2.1 covers every agency, and only these groups were extracted. Do not read this table as total spending.
| Agency / group (all funds) | FY 2027 approved |
|---|---|
| Kansas Dept. for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) | $4,345,226,367 |
| Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment — Health (KDHE-Health) | $4,756,938,337 |

Fund balance & reserves — State General Fund outlook
SGF walk, FY 2027 approved ($ millions) — sums exactly
| Beginning balance, July 1, 2026 | $2,102.5 |
| Total revenues (April 2026 CRE, Legislature-adjusted) | $10,202.6 |
| Total available | $12,305.1 |
| Total expenditures | $10,750.7 |
| Ending balance, June 30, 2027 | $1,554.4 |
| Ending balance as % of expenditures | 14.5% |
SGF ending balance and Budget Stabilization Fund, history ($ millions)
| Fiscal year | SGF ending balance | % of expenditures | Budget Stabilization Fund |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2024 (actual) | $3,220.7 | 34.4% | $1,687.1 |
| FY 2025 (actual) | $2,933.2 | 28.4% | $1,890.2 |
| FY 2026 (approved) | $2,102.5 | 19.2% | $1,990.0 |
| FY 2027 (approved) | $1,554.4 | 14.5% | $2,049.7 |
The FY 2027 Budget Stabilization Fund figure ($2,049.7 million) is independently confirmed by Kansas Dept. of Revenue Notice 26-11 (October 15, 2026), which puts the fund at about $2.05 billion, 20.4% of prior-year SGF tax receipts. The SGF ending balance has fallen for four straight years on this outlook — from 34.4% of expenditures in FY 2024 to 14.5% in FY 2027 — while the Stabilization Fund has grown each year.

State debt — KDFA Debt Study (Moody's FY 2024 data)
Different measures, never added together. Kansas issues little general obligation debt; most state debt is Kansas Development Finance Authority revenue bonds. The headline measure below is Moody's adjusted net tax-supported debt, not GO bonds alone.
| Adjusted net tax-supported debt | $3.7 billion |
| Adjusted net pension liability | $13.8 billion |
| Other long-term obligations | $0.4 billion |
| Combined long-term burden, as % of own-source revenue | 113.2% |
| Moody's general obligation rating | Aa2 |
KPERS pension funding bonds — a subset of tax-supported debt, not an addition
| 2004 pension funding bonds, principal remaining at June 30, 2026 | ~$228 million |
| 2015 pension funding bonds, principal remaining at June 30, 2026 | ~$783 million |
| 2021 pension funding bonds, principal remaining at June 30, 2026 | ~$436 million |
| Sum of the three series (subset of net tax-supported debt) | ~$1,447 million |
| Annual debt service on the pension bonds | ~$120 million (~$90M SGF + ~$33M expanded lottery) |

What this page deliberately omits
- General obligation bonds outstanding from the Kansas ACFR — not located in the extracted sources, so no GO figure is shown rather than a substituted one. The KDFA net tax-supported debt measure above is the debt headline.
