Arkansas Paycheck Calculator
Arkansas has undergone significant income tax reform over the past several years. In 2026, the top income tax rate is 3.9%, reduced from 5.9% in 2021 through a series of legislatively mandated annual cuts. The state continues to target a 3.5% top rate. Arkansas's graduated system has three main brackets with the top rate applying above $24,300.
Arkansas does not levy city income taxes in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, or any other municipality. The state graduated rate is the only sub-federal income tax on wages. Arkansas has no SDI program.
Arkansas has made significant economic strides in reducing its income tax burden, going from one of the higher-taxed Southern states to among the lower-taxed. This positions Arkansas more competitively against neighboring Texas (no income tax) and Tennessee (no income tax). Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce Arkansas taxable income via federal AGI conformity.
