How much is Arizona state income tax?

2.5% for 2026, charged on every dollar of taxable income rather than in bands. A standard deduction of $8,350 single comes off first, so the effective rate is lower — on $75,000 it works out at 2.22%.

What is take-home pay on $75,000 in Arizona?

Arizona takes about $1,666 a year at that salary — 2.22% of gross — before federal tax and FICA. Enter your own figure above for the per-paycheck answer.

Does Arizona have local income taxes?

No local income tax applies in Arizona, so the state figure above is the whole of it.

Is Arizona a high-tax state overall?

On income, Arizona takes 2.22% of a $75,000 salary. But the whole burden is three taxes: sales tax here is 8.54% combined, 11th of fifty, and property tax 0.48%, 47th of fifty. The two pull in opposite directions, which is why a single ranking of "tax-friendly states" tells you little about your own household.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

Form A-4 is what sets your state withholding

Arizona withholding is a percentage of gross taxable wages that you choose yourself, from 0.5% to 3.5%. Pick 0% only if you expect no Arizona tax at all.

What Arizona charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in Arizona
Sales tax, state plus average local	8.54%	11th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	0.48%	47th of fifty

The state rate is 5.6% and local jurisdictions add 2.94% on average, reaching 8.54% where you shop. Property tax is among the lightest at 0.48% — about $1,920 a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

Arizona is flat at 2.5%, the lowest flat rate of any state that has one, after a standard deduction that matches the federal figure.
Withholding is not calculated from allowances: you choose a percentage of gross wages on Form A-4, and the default when you choose nothing is 2.0%.
