Arizona Paycheck Calculator 2026

Arizona uses a flat state income tax rate of 2.5% for 2026, and the state does not impose a general local income tax on wages.

Enter your salary or hourly rate, select your pay frequency and filing status, add any pre-tax deductions, and instantly see your estimated net paycheck — broken down line by line.

How Arizona Paychecks Work

Arizona moved to a flat individual income tax rate of 2.5% beginning in tax year 2023, and that flat rate continues for 2026. That makes Arizona one of the simplest state paycheck calculations to estimate.

Arizona employees may also elect specific withholding percentages on Form A-4, and employers use Arizona withholding rules to compute paycheck deductions. Because the tax is flat, the state portion of the calculation is much simpler than in progressive-tax states.

Pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k), health insurance, HSA, or FSA can reduce taxable wages for federal calculations and may also affect your Arizona paycheck estimate.

Arizona Paycheck Breakdown

Every Arizona worker pays federal payroll taxes on wages. Social Security is withheld at 6.2% up to the annual wage base, and Medicare is withheld at 1.45%. Higher earners may also owe additional Medicare tax under federal rules.

The calculator converts annual or hourly income into the selected pay frequency before applying taxes and deductions. That makes it useful for salary workers, hourly workers, and anyone comparing weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly paychecks.

Arizona generally does not have local income tax on wages, so the calculator focuses on federal withholding, FICA, and Arizona state tax.
