Filing status, dependents and tax year

Defaults cover the common case: single, no dependents, the current year.

Arizona pays $125 for a dependent under 17 and $25 for an older one. This estimate has no age input and uses the higher figure for every dependent, so a filer whose dependents are grown is shown less tax than they owe.

How Arizona taxes a paycheck

Arizona taxes wages at one flat rate, 2.5% of taxable income, whatever the salary.

A single filer subtracts a $15,750 standard deduction before the state rate applies.

Federal income tax uses the IRS 2026 brackets and standard deduction. Social Security is 6.2% of pay up to $184,500 a year and Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000.

What the Arizona figure includes

  • Arizona taxes Arizona taxable income at a flat 2.5% (A.R.S. 43-1011(A)(9); Arizona DOR 2025 Individual Income Tax Highlights). 2026 Form 140 was not published at verification.
  • The 2025 standard deduction is $15,750 single or married filing separately, $31,500 married filing jointly, $23,625 head of household (DOR 2025 Highlights; A.R.S. 43-1041 inflation-adjusted). The extra standard-deduction increase for charitable contributions (34% for 2025) is not modeled.
  • The dependent tax credit is modeled at $125 for each dependent, with 5% of it removed for each $1,000, or fraction thereof, of federal adjusted gross income above $200,000 single or $400,000 filing jointly, so it reaches zero at $220,000 and $420,000 (A.R.S. 43-1073.01 as amended by Laws 2026, Ch. 140 / HB 4168). A candidate $125 was first seen in PolicyEngine-US citing the bill; production cites the enacted session law.
  • Arizona pays $125 only for a dependent under 17 and $25 for an older one. This estimate has no age input and applies the higher figure to every dependent, so it understates tax for a filer whose dependents are grown.
  • Other Arizona credits and Form 140 adjustments are not modeled. The starting point is gross wages.

Arizona paycheck questions

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Arizona?

On the Arizona median wage of $50,060 (BLS, May 2025), paid every two weeks, about $327.48 of a $1,925.38 paycheck goes to tax: $147.20 federal income tax, $147.29 Social Security and Medicare, and $32.99 Arizona income tax. That leaves $1,597.90.

This assumes a single filer with the standard deduction and no pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) or health premiums, which would lower both the tax and the check.

Does Arizona have a state income tax?

Yes. Arizona taxes wages at one flat rate, 2.5% of taxable income, whatever the salary. The rules come from Arizona Department of Revenue.

What is the Arizona income tax rate for 2026?

Flat 2.5% of taxable income, using the 2025 rate, the latest Arizona Department of Revenue had published when these figures were checked.

How much is $1,000 a week after taxes in Arizona?

About $828.00 a week, or $43,056 a year, for a single filer with the standard deduction in 2026. Federal income tax takes about $78.08 a week and Social Security and Medicare $76.50; Arizona income tax about $17.43.

Why is my real paycheck different from this estimate?

Employers withhold with the IRS percentage method and your W-4, not with an annual estimate split into pay periods. Pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k), health insurance or an HSA lower your taxable pay, and bonuses are often withheld at a flat supplemental rate. Over a full year the two should come close; a single check can differ.
