Estimates using federal brackets, FICA and your state rate. Not tax advice.
Arizona uses a flat state income tax rate of 2.5 percent on wages for 2026. A flat rate means every dollar of taxable wage income is taxed at the same rate regardless of how much you earn. Arizona moved to this single flat rate in recent years, simplifying what was previously a graduated schedule. At 2.5 percent, it is among the lowest flat income tax rates in the United States.
On a $65,000 salary, Arizona state income tax is roughly $1,625 per year, or about $135 per month. Because the rate is flat, that percentage holds whether you earn $30,000 or $300,000. Your exact withholding may differ slightly depending on your Arizona Form A-4 elections and any deductions you claim on your return.
Arizona does not have a local wage income tax layered on top of the state rate. The calculator applies federal income tax brackets, FICA, and Arizona's 2.5 percent flat state rate to your paycheck. You can adjust the state rate field if you want to model a different scenario. Results are estimates only and are not tax advice.
