How Arizona taxes your paycheck
Arizona uses a flat 2.5% income tax for 2026. The rate applies to your taxable wages, which start from your pay and then subtract a standard deduction of $8,350 for single filers and $16,700 for married couples filing jointly, and a credit of $100 for each dependent.
Because the rate is flat, every taxable dollar is taxed at 2.5%, whatever you earn.

Ways to keep more of your pay in Arizona
- Use a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). Each $1,000 you contribute lowers your federal taxable pay and your Arizona taxable pay.
- Use payroll benefits. Health insurance premiums, an FSA and an HSA paid through payroll lower your taxable pay.
- Check your W-4. If you get a very large refund or a bill every April, adjust your withholding. Our guide to reading your paycheck shows how.
- Look at your state withholding form. Arizona has its own withholding form or allowances, separate from the federal W-4.
- Compare job offers after tax, not before. A job in Arizona that pays $5,000 more can leave you with a different gain than the number suggests. Use the calculator above for both.
