Travel Agents Salary in Kansas

The median is $47,390 a year, that works out to about $23 an hour. But the range is wide: entry-level workers start around $36,960, and experienced travel agents can clear $72,980. These are BLS numbers, based on employer-reported data, not self-reported surveys.

On that salary, you'd take home roughly $3,173/month after taxes. A 2-bedroom here rents for about $1,066/month, which eats 33.6% of your paycheck. That's above the 30% rule of thumb, housing will be a stretch at the median salary, though you can manage with roommates or a smaller place.

Kansas has a Regional Price Parity of 100 (100 is the national average). That's right at the national average. After cost-of-living adjustment, the median travel agents salary is worth about $52,926 in national-average purchasing power.
