Kansas Toll Calculator

What Is the Kansas Toll Calculator?

The Kansas Toll Calculator is an online tool that shows you the cost of using the Kansas Turnpike based on:

• Start location – your entry city or interchange
• End location – your exit point or destination
• Vehicle type – car, SUV, motorcycle, or larger vehicles like trucks and RVs
• Payment method – K-TAG, E-ZPass, or cash/card
• Round trip option – to calculate both ways in one step

Once you click “calculate,” you’ll see:

• The distance traveled on the turnpike
• Each toll plaza passed
• Cost by plaza
• The total toll cost for your trip

Example: Kansas City to Wichita

Let’s take a common trip on the Kansas Turnpike.

Distance: ~165 miles (one way)
Vehicle: Car, SUV, or motorcycle

• If paying with K-TAG or E-ZPass: About $7.50 – $8.00
• If paying with Cash/Card: About $11.00 – $12.00

That’s a savings of around $3 to $4 per trip with electronic tolling. Multiply that for round trips or frequent commutes, and the savings add up fast.
