Arizona take-home pay, explained.
Arizona is a low income-tax state. It uses a flat 2.5% state income tax after the standard deduction, and it has no local income tax. That makes Arizona payroll taxes simpler than payroll taxes in states with city or county income taxes.
The Arizona standard deduction generally matches the federal standard deduction. The first portion of income is shielded from state tax, and the remaining taxable income is taxed at 2.5%. Because the rate is flat, higher income does not move into a higher Arizona bracket.
This is why Arizona take-home pay can look close to pay in a no-income-tax state. Arizona still collects state income tax, but the rate is low enough that federal tax and FICA usually make up most of the withholding.
How to calculate take-home pay in Arizona.
Start with gross pay, choose a pay schedule, subtract pre-tax deductions, apply federal and Arizona income tax, subtract FICA, and read your net pay. The calculator above does all of it live as you type.
02
Subtract the taxes.
Federal income tax (2026 brackets), Arizona income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) come out.

What's left is take-home.
The remainder is your net pay — shown per paycheck and per year, with an itemized breakdown so nothing is a black box.
Arizona income tax for 2026.
Arizona uses a flat 2.50% income tax rate. It is one of the lowest state income tax rates among states that tax wages. The rate applies after the standard deduction, so the effective rate on your full salary is often lower than 2.5%.
| Taxable income | Arizona rate |
|---|---|
| All taxable income | 2.50% |
Local taxes are simple: a worker in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Glendale, or Flagstaff does not add a city income tax to the paycheck estimate. Sales tax and property tax are separate costs, but they do not reduce wages through income tax withholding.
Deductions still matter: even with a low state rate, pre-tax benefits can reduce federal and state taxable income. Retirement contributions, health premiums, and HSA contributions can make a noticeable difference in take-home pay.
Federal tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Federal tax works the same in Arizona as it does in every state. A single filer, married couple, and head-of-household filer can all have different withholding because bracket sizes and deductions are different.
Social Security and Medicare taxes also work the same in every state. Social Security tax is 6.2% of covered wages up to the annual wage base, and Medicare tax is 1.45% of wages with no basic wage cap. Together, these Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes are often one of the largest deductions on an Arizona paycheck.
Employers may also pay federal unemployment tax and unemployment insurance costs, but those employer taxes usually do not come out of your employee paycheck. Your paycheck mainly shows employee income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and benefit deductions.

What affects your Arizona paycheck.
Filing status is a major input. Single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household use different federal assumptions. If your spouse also works, your W-4 may need extra care.
Pre-tax and post-tax deductions are different. Pre-tax deductions can reduce taxable income. Post-tax deductions, such as some insurance, garnishments, union dues, or after-tax retirement contributions, reduce the deposit but usually do not reduce taxable wages.
Bonuses can look different from regular pay. Employers may withhold federal tax from bonuses using a supplemental wage method, and the final tax is reconciled when you file your return.
Your W-4 choices matter. Dependents, credits, second-job information, and extra withholding tell payroll how much tax to hold back. If you owed a lot last year or received a very large refund, updating your W-4 can make each paycheck closer to your real tax bill.
Moving to or from Arizona?
Use the compare feature to see Arizona next to another state. This helps if you are considering Arizona, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, California, or another state. Paycheck tax is only one part of a move; housing, insurance, commuting, childcare, property tax, and sales tax also matter, but comparing net pay is a fast way to see how much cash reaches you each month.
Because Arizona's flat 2.5% rate is low, moving from Arizona to a no-income-tax state may create a modest paycheck change for many workers. Moving from a high-tax state to Arizona can create a larger difference.
