How Arizona taxes your paycheck
Arizona taxes wages at a flat 2.5%, unchanged since 2023, and ADOR's 2026 Form 140ES confirms 2.5% for 2026. HB 4168 (signed June 13, 2026) moved Arizona's IRC conformity date to January 1, 2026 and raised the standard deduction, retroactive to 2025, to $15,750 single / $31,500 joint / $23,625 head of household. A.R.S. 43-1041 indexes those amounts by the federal method, so the 2026 amounts encoded here equal the federal $16,100 / $32,200 / $24,150 (ADOR has not yet published them).

What this calculator does not include
Ignores dependent credits, age-65/blind exemptions, the charitable standard-deduction add-on, the family income tax credit and the tips/overtime/senior subtractions. Arizona withholding is an employee-elected percentage of gross wages (Form A-4), so paycheck withholding will not match this annual liability. The calculator also leaves out dependents, tax credits, additional withholding on your W-4 and non-wage income. Your employer's withholding can differ from your final tax bill.
