2026 Arizona paycheck guide

What this statewide profile models

State wage-tax treatment

The profile applies one configured statewide rate band after modeled adjustments. It does not infer local taxes or unsupported credits.

Employee payroll items

No employee payroll assessment is configured in this statewide profile. That is a model statement, not a claim that every employer or locality has no additional deduction.

401(k) treatment

Configured pretax 401(k) contributions reduce Arizona taxable wages in this model, subject to the calculator limit and profile boundaries.

Planning focus

Compare filing-status and pretax-contribution scenarios instead of treating one Arizona withholding estimate as a universal result.

Profile boundaries

These limits stay visible so a statewide estimate is not mistaken for a filed return or an address-specific withholding calculation.

  • Arizona state income tax is modeled as an annual-liability estimate, not employer withholding.
  • The dependent credit — $125 per dependent under 17 and $25 per dependent 17 or older for 2026 — and the charitable deduction adjustment, now 100% of qualified contributions capped at $1,000 single and $2,000 joint, require inputs not collected by this calculator.
  • The standard deduction amounts are Arizona's tax-year-2025 figures; A.R.S. §43-1041 indexes them annually to the federal standard deduction and the Department of Revenue had not published 2026 amounts when this was checked, so estimates are modestly overstated.
