Arizona income tax in 2026
Arizona applies one rate, 2.5%, to taxable income. On $60,000 that comes to about $1,098 for 2026. Arizona charges a single 2.5% rate on all taxable income, as low as any state rate in the country.
The Tax Foundation's January 2026 survey still showed the older $8,350 standard deduction; Arizona adopted the federal amount for 2026 with HB 4168 in June 2026, which this page uses, so a single filer starts paying state tax above $16,100 of income.
Sales tax is separate from the paycheck: 5.6% at the state level in Arizona, 8.54% on average with local taxes. The Arizona sales tax calculator adds it to a price.
