How this calculator works
Federal tax uses the 2026 IRS brackets and standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint / $24,150 head of household). FICA is 6.2% for Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare (with the 0.9% additional Medicare tax at higher incomes). Arizona tax is computed slice-by-slice through the state’s actual 2026 brackets after the state standard deduction, so your state effective rate is always lower than your top bracket.

Arizona take-home pay — questions
What is the Arizona state income tax rate in 2026?
Arizona uses a flat tax of 2.50%% on taxable income — the top marginal rate is 2.50%%. Rates apply only to the slice of income inside each bracket, never to your whole salary.
What is the Arizona standard deduction in 2026?
For 2026 it is $15,750 for single filers and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly. The calculator subtracts it before applying the brackets, the same way your state return does.
Does this calculator include Arizona city or county taxes?
No — this page covers federal tax, FICA, state income tax. A few cities and counties levy their own income tax on top; those are not included, so your real take-home could be slightly lower if one applies to you.
Why is my actual paycheck different?
Your paycheck also subtracts pre-tax items this calculator doesn't model — 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, and HSA contributions. Treat this as an accurate baseline for comparing salaries and states.
