How your Arizona paycheck is calculated
- Gross pay: your salary divided by pay periods, or hourly rate × hours (overtime at 1.5× for hours over 40 a week).
- Pre-tax deductions: 401(k) and pre-tax health insurance lower your taxable wages.
- Federal income tax: the 2026 IRS brackets after the standard deduction.
- FICA: Social Security 6.2% and Medicare 1.45%.
- Arizona tax: applied to your wages after Arizona's own deductions (standard deduction $16,100 single).
- Net pay = gross pay − taxes − deductions.

What to know about Arizona taxes
Arizona has one of the lowest flat income tax rates in the country: 2.5%. Arizona uses the same standard deduction amounts as the federal return. Your employer withholds Arizona tax using the percentage you choose on Form A-4 (0.5% to 3.5%), so your paycheck withholding may be higher or lower than your actual tax; the difference is settled when you file.
