Arizona take-home pay calculator

This is the figure before tax, not the amount that lands in your account

Your pay stub calls it gross pay. It is what you are paid before federal and Arizona income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of it.

Your usual week, not a busy one

Use the hours you work most weeks. Overtime belongs in the overtime calculator instead.

How often are you paid?

It changes the size of each check, not the tax you owe for the year

It only decides how the year is cut up, so the figure you see is the one you would actually receive.

How do you do your taxes?

It moves the income bands, so it changes the tax on the same pay

Tax forms call this your filing status. This estimate assumes one income; if your husband or wife also earns, the real figure is higher than this.

Do customers tip you?

Cash and card tips together, for the whole year.

An hourly rate times your hours never includes tips

If you worked out your pay as a rate times the hours you work, that figure is your wages and nothing else, so your tips are on top of it. A yearly salary from an employer who reports your tips usually already has them in it, and your last payslip is the place to check: if the gross on it is bigger than your rate times your hours, the difference is your reported tips.

Do you get paid extra for working extra hours?

This starts at one and a half times your normal rate, the usual overtime rate. Change it if yours is different, and it stops following.

Do you get a bonus or commission?

Do you, or your husband or wife, turn 65 at any point this year?

Do you put part of your pay into a retirement plan at work?

Look on your pay stub for a line like 401(k), 403(b), 457, TSP, retirement or pension.

Does money come out of your pay for health insurance or a health account?

Look on your pay stub for lines like medical, dental, vision, HSA or FSA.

Do you claim any children or other dependents?

That is $0 of dependent credit for the year. A W-4 counts $2,000 for each child under 17 and $500 for each other dependent.

Did you ask your employer to take extra tax out of each paycheck?

Look on your pay stub for a line like additional or extra withholding. On the W-4 you handed in, it is the box on line 4(c).

If your W-4 shows a per-paycheck amount, multiply it by the number of paychecks you get in a year.

Is anything else taken out of your pay after tax?

Look near the bottom of your pay stub for lines like union dues, life insurance, a repayment or a garnishment.

2025 standard deduction (2026 pending). Arizona's tax rates for 2026 are current, but it has not published its 2026 standard deduction yet, so this page subtracts its 2025 amount. We update this page when the state publishes.

Use this free Arizona (AZ) paycheck, payroll and income tax calculator to estimate your 2026 take-home pay after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Arizona's flat 2.5% state income tax.

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.

Arizona has not published its 2026 standard deduction yet, so this page uses its 2025 amounts until it does: $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.

Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.

One rate on every taxable dollar: Arizona's 2.5% flat tax (2025)

Arizona applies a single flat rate to taxable wages for 2025.

FilingRate
All taxable income2.5%

Arizona's own $15.15 minimum wage — above the federal floor (2026)

$15.15/hour (≈$31,512/year full-time). Effective Jan 1, 2026 (up from $14.70), CPI-indexed annually by the Industrial Commission of Arizona. Flagstaff ($18.35) and Tucson ($15.45) set higher local minimums.

Beyond the paycheck: Arizona's 5.6% statewide sales tax

Statewide sales tax5.6%

No city or county income tax anywhere in Arizona

No Arizona city, county or town may levy an income tax. State law reserves income taxation to the state, so Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale and every other city fall under the state's flat 2.5% income tax only.

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 starts from your federal adjusted gross income, a figure worked out before the federal tips and overtime deductions come off. Arizona's 2026 tax law, HB 4168 (signed June 13, 2026), lets you subtract both deductions on your Arizona return too, for 2025 and later. For 2025, residents claim them on Form 140, not Form 140A or 140EZ. (source: azleg.gov)

  • 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.

Car loan interest: Arizona lets you subtract the federal car loan interest deduction on your 2025 Arizona return (residents claim it on Form 140, not Form 140A or 140EZ). The subtraction stops after 2025: Arizona's 2026 tax law, HB 4168, allows it for 2025 only. (source: Arizona Revised Statutes 43-1022, paragraph 36, added by HB 4168 (2026))

Your paycheck vs the $81,486 Arizona median

Median household income (2024 (ACS 1-year))$81,486
Take-home (single filer)≈$64,512

Two Arizona payroll quirks worth knowing

  • Arizona taxes income at a flat 2.5%, and state law bars cities, counties and towns from adding a local income tax, so a paycheck anywhere in the state shows just one 2.5% state income tax 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.
