Common questions
- How does Arizona income tax work?
- Arizona uses a single flat rate of 2.5% on its own taxable income, after a standard deduction of $8,350 for single filers or $16,700 for married couples filing jointly. There are no brackets to climb, so every additional dollar is taxed at the same rate.
- What is the top Arizona income tax rate?
- The top Arizona rate is 2.5%, and it only applies to income above the highest bracket threshold shown above — not to your whole salary. The rate on your first dollars is 2.5%.
- What is the Arizona standard deduction for 2026?
- $8,350 for single filers and $16,700 for married couples filing jointly; there is no separate dependent exemption. Taxable income is what remains after that deduction, and it is what the brackets are applied to.
- What is the take-home pay on $100,000 in Arizona?
- For a single filer paid biweekly with no 401(k) deferral and no health premiums, a $100,000 salary in Arizona leaves $2,957.26 per paycheck — $76,888.75 a year, an effective rate of 23.1% after $13,170 of federal income tax, $2,291 of Arizona tax and $7,650 of FICA.
- Do remote workers pay Arizona income tax?
- A Arizona resident is generally taxed by Arizona on wages earned anywhere, including wages for a remote job whose employer sits in another state. Days worked physically outside Arizona can matter in some cases, and a non-resident working in Arizona is generally taxed on income earned here. Nothing here is tax advice — the details depend on your situation.
- Does Arizona have local income taxes?
- Arizona has no broad statewide local income tax layered on top of the state rate that this calculator models. School, county, city or occupational taxes can still apply in particular places, and the calculator does not model them.
