How Arizona's flat 2.5% income tax hits your 2026 paycheck
Arizona levies a flat 2.5% state income tax for 2026, applied after the state allowance/deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Arizona take-home pay.
For 2026, Arizona's state standard deduction is $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly; after that, all remaining taxable income is taxed at the single flat rate of 2.5% — Arizona does not use graduated brackets for 2026. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $1,106 in Arizona income tax (roughly 1.8% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.
What this estimate doesn't include: The standard deduction used here is Arizona's published 2025 amount. Arizona releases each year's amount alongside that year's Form 140, and the 2026 amount had not been published as of 30 July 2026. Arizona also allows an extra standard deduction for charitable contributions if you do not itemize. This calculator does not include it, so your Arizona tax may be slightly lower than shown. City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those.

Is overtime and tips tax-free in Arizona? Federally yes — and on the Arizona return too
Qualified overtime premium pay and tips are federally deductible for 2025–2028 (OBBBA caps & rules); FICA still applies.
Arizona state income tax: Arizona adopted full OBBBA conformity in HB 4168, signed June 13, 2026 as part of the FY2026 budget deal. It creates a mandatory individual income-tax subtraction for qualified overtime and tips under A.R.S. §43-1022, retroactive to tax year 2025 and applying to 2026 and forward. (Earlier standalone conformity bills were vetoed in early 2026; the budget resolved it.) (source: currentfederaltaxdevelopments.com)
- Overtime: 2025 — deductible on your Arizona return too; 2026–2028 — deductible on your Arizona return too.
- Tips: 2025 — deductible on your Arizona return too; 2026–2028 — deductible on your Arizona return too.

Your paycheck vs the $79,964 Arizona median
| Median household income (2024 (ACS 1-year)) | $79,964 |
| Take-home (single filer) | ≈$63,479 |
Two Arizona payroll quirks worth knowing
- Arizona's 2.5% flat income tax is the lowest flat rate of any state that taxes wage income, and the state bars all cities and counties from adding any local income tax — so a paycheck statewide shows just one 2.5% state line.
- Arizona's $15.15 state minimum wage is CPI-indexed each January 1 by the Industrial Commission (the $0.45 bump for 2026 came from Aug 2024-Aug 2025 inflation), and home-rule cities like Flagstaff ($18.35) can set substantially higher local minimums.
