The assumptions behind the estimate
In Arizona you choose your withholding percentage on Form A-4. We assume 2.0%: it is one of the options on the form and also the rate ADOR requires if you do not file it. If you elected another percentage (0.5% to 3.5%, or zero), your actual withholding will differ. Filing status has no effect.
What is not included
Does not include a percentage other than 2.0% that you elected on your A-4 or any extra amount requested on that form.
Frequently asked questions
How much tax is taken out of a paycheck in Arizona?
At $20 an hour and 40 hours a week, a biweekly paycheck of $1,600.00 has $108.15 of federal income tax, $122.40 of Social Security and Medicare and $32.00 of state taxes withheld. You take home $1,337.45, or 83.6%. This is an estimate for a single filer with one job and no deductions.
Does Arizona have a state income tax on wages?
Yes. This is Arizona state income tax.
Are there city or county taxes in Arizona?
We found no local taxes withheld from employee paychecks in Arizona.
Is overtime taxed more?
There is no special rate for overtime: it is added to your pay for the period and withholding is figured on the total, which is why the check grows less than you expect. From 2025 through 2028 you can deduct from federal income tax the extra half of your overtime (up to $12,500; $25,000 if married) if your income is under $150,000; it only lowers each paycheck's withholding if you entered it on your W-4.
How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
It uses the official 2026 withholding rules from the IRS and Arizona. It is still an estimate: your employer knows your W-4, your deductions and your year-to-date earnings. It is not tax or legal advice.
