Step-by-step solution

  1. Split your yearly pay over 26 paychecks to see each check before tax

    $60,000.0026=$2,307.69

  2. Take off the 2026 standard deduction for single filers. This part of your pay isn't taxed, and the rest is your taxable income

    $60,000.00−$16,100.00=$43,900.00

  3. Work out federal income tax with the 2026 brackets. Each rate only applies to its own slice of income. Your top rate is 12%

    federal income tax=$5,020.00

  4. Social Security takes 6.2% of your wages, up to a yearly cap of $184,500.00

    $60,000.00×6.2%=$3,720.00

  5. Medicare takes 1.45% of all your wages, with no cap

    $60,000.00×1.45%=$870.00

  6. Take off Arizona's deductions and exemptions to find your state taxable income

    $60,000.00−$15,750.00=$44,250.00

  7. Work out Arizona income tax with its 2026 rates. Your top state rate is 2.5%

    state tax=$1,106.25

  8. Add up all the taxes for the year

    total taxes=$10,716.25

  9. Find your take-home pay: each check before tax, minus that check's share of taxes and deductions

    $2,307.69−$412.16=$1,895.53

What this estimate leaves out

  • Uses the 2025 standard deduction. A.R.S. 43-1041(H) indexes it each year the same way as the federal amount, and the 2026 figure wasn't published when checked.
  • The dependent credit is $25, not $100, for dependents 17 or older. This estimate treats every dependent as under 17.
  • The dependent credit shrinks above federal AGI of $200,000 ($400,000 married filing jointly) and is gone $19,000 past that.
  • Extra exemptions for age 65, blindness and qualifying parents, the charitable standard deduction increase, itemized deductions and other Arizona credits are left out.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Arizona income tax rate for 2026?

Arizona has a flat 2.5% rate. It applies to all taxable income for every filing status.

Does Arizona give a credit for children?

Yes. Arizona's dependent tax credit is $100 for each dependent under 17 and $25 for older dependents. It shrinks at federal AGI above $200,000, or $400,000 for married couples filing jointly.

Does Arizona tax 401(k) contributions?

No. Arizona starts from your federal adjusted gross income, so traditional 401(k) and 403(b) contributions lower your Arizona taxable income.

Is there local income tax in Arizona?

No. Arizona cities and counties don't tax wages, so only the state income tax comes out of your pay.
