Arizona Paycheck Calculator
Take-home pay in Arizona for 2026: state income tax, federal income tax from the 2026 IRS tables, Social Security and Medicare, for salary or hourly pay.
Taxes on a Arizona paycheck
Arizona has a flat income tax. Employers withhold the percentage you choose on Form A-4, from 0.5% to 3.5% of your taxable wages, or 2.0% if you do not file one. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Arizona withholding is figured
- Your employer withholds the percentage you pick on Arizona Form A-4: 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0% or 3.5% of your taxable wages, plus any extra amount you ask for.
- If you never file an A-4, the employer must withhold 2.0%.
- Taxable wages are the same as for federal income tax, so 401(k) contributions and pre-tax health insurance lower them.
