Arizona income tax in 2026
Arizona applies a single 2.5% rate to taxable wages, so the arithmetic is simpler than in a graduated-rate state.
| Single – taxable income | Rate | Married filing jointly | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| All income | 2.5% | All income | 2.5% |
- Standard deduction: $8,350 single, $16,700 married filing jointly
- Top marginal rate: 2.5%
- Local taxes: none beyond the state rate
What Arizona costs you versus Texas
Moving does not change your federal tax, so the state comparison is clean: the same $75,000 salary for a single filer leaves $59,926 in Arizona and $61,593 in Texas. That is $1,666 a year — $139 a month — in favor of Arizona.
Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming — charge nothing on wages, which is why they dominate "best state for take-home pay" lists.

Arizona paycheck FAQ
How much is $60,000 a year after taxes in Arizona?
A single filer earning $60,000 in Arizona takes home about $49,099 a year, or $4,092 a month. That is $60,000 minus $5,020 federal income tax, $4,590 FICA, and $1,291 in Arizona income tax.
What is the Arizona income tax rate in 2026?
Arizona has a top rate of 2.5% in 2026, with a standard deduction of $8,350 for single filers and $16,700 for married couples filing jointly. Arizona moved to a single 2.5% rate in 2023. Its standard deduction is still tied to the pre-2025 federal amount ($8,350 single / $16,700 joint for 2026).
How much is $25 an hour after taxes in Arizona?
At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week — $52,000 a year — a single filer in Arizona keeps about $42,871, or $3,573 a month.
Does Arizona tax 401(k) contributions?
Most states follow the federal treatment: traditional 401(k) deferrals are excluded from state taxable wages, so contributing lowers state tax as well as federal tax. A few states, including Pennsylvania and Colorado, treat some deferrals differently, so check your state's instructions if you contribute heavily. This calculator applies the federal exclusion everywhere.
How does Arizona compare with Texas for take-home pay?
On $75,000 of salary for a single filer, Arizona leaves $59,926 and Texas leaves $61,593 — a difference of $1,666 a year in favor of Arizona. Texas taxes no wage income, so that gap is pure state tax.
