How Arizona taxes your paycheck

Arizona levies a flat state income tax of 2.5% on income above roughly $16,100 (the state's deduction or exemption). Unlike progressive states, your marginal state rate does not climb as income rises — every taxable dollar is taxed at the same 2.5%.

Local taxes: Arizona's standard deduction equals the federal standard deduction, which is applied here.

The federal side

Every U.S. worker pays federal income tax (2026 single-filer standard deduction: $16,100, brackets from 10% to 37%), Social Security at 6.2% of wages up to $184,500, and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 single / $250,000 joint). Your own 401(k) deferrals and pre-tax health/HSA premiums are modeled in the inputs above; employer matches never come out of your paycheck.

Comparing states

At the same $60,000 salary, take-home pay can differ by thousands of dollars a year between states. Browse all state paycheck calculators to compare, or convert offers on the salary to hourly calculator.
