Arizona Paycheck Calculator

Arizona completed a landmark tax reform in 2023, collapsing its graduated income tax structure into a single flat rate of 2.5% — one of the lowest flat rates of any state with an income tax. This flat rate applies to all Arizona taxable income regardless of earnings level, significantly simplifying withholding and benefiting higher-income workers who previously faced rates up to 4.5%.

Arizona does not levy city income taxes in Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, or any other municipality. Workers across the state face identical sub-federal tax burdens: 2.5% state income tax plus federal income tax and FICA.

Arizona's standard deduction is $13,850 (single) / $27,700 (MFJ) — it conforms to federal standard deduction amounts. Traditional 401(k) contributions reduce Arizona taxable income following federal AGI. Arizona also does not impose SDI, so no disability insurance is withheld from paychecks by the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Arizona's state income tax rate?expand_more
Arizona has a flat 2.5% income tax rate on all taxable wages as of 2023. Previously, Arizona had graduated rates from 2.59% to 4.5%. The Prop 208 surtax (3.5% on high earners) was struck down by courts in 2022, so 2.5% is the only state rate that applies.
Does Phoenix have a city income tax?expand_more
No. Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, and all Arizona cities are prohibited from levying local income taxes on wages. Arizona law pre-empts municipal income taxation. Your only state-level payroll tax in Arizona is the 2.5% flat income tax.
How much do I save in Arizona taxes versus California?expand_more
On a $150,000 salary (single filer), California's state income tax is approximately $12,000–$13,000 annually. Arizona's 2.5% on the same income would be approximately $3,000 after deductions — a difference of roughly $9,000–$10,000 in annual take-home pay.
