How Arizona taxes your paycheck
Arizona has a flat 2.5% income tax for tax year 2025. Before the rate applies, the calculator subtracts a standard deduction of $15,750 for single filers, $31,500 for married couples filing jointly and $23,625 for heads of household.
Traditional 401(k) contributions are excluded from Arizona taxable wages, and Section 125 health premiums are excluded.
Figures are from Arizona 2025 income-tax highlights and small business income tax booklet. Arizona had not published its full 2026 schedule when we checked, so this page uses the latest official figures, for tax year 2025.

What else to know about Arizona taxes
Arizona employees choose a withholding percentage on Form A-4, so the amount actually withheld may differ from the 2.5% annual tax estimated here.
What this estimate does not include
Tax credits, itemized deductions, other income, overtime, bonuses and post-tax deductions are not included, and actual withholding follows your Form W-4 and Arizona's own withholding rules. Use it as a planning estimate. For the method and the federal rules, see the main paycheck calculator.
