How to calculate your Arizona income taxes

Understanding your Arizona income taxes

Arizona’s income tax structure is a flat rate of 2%.

The state eschews a distinct payroll tax, but employers aren’t entirely free from obligations. They contribute to a state unemployment insurance tax, providing a safety net for individuals facing job loss.

Arizona’s approach to standard deductions and exemptions is an exercise in generosity. With a standard deduction of $12,200 for single filers and $24,400 for joint filers, along with tax credits for dependents and the elderly, it offers taxpayers a degree of financial respite.

Calculate your income tax in Arizona

1. Work out your total federal income tax
   1. Gross income adjusted
      Gross income − Pre-tax deductions = Gross income adjusted
   2. Federal taxable income
      Gross income adjusted − Federal standard/itemized deductions = Federal taxable income
   3. Federal income tax liability
      Federal taxable income × Federal income tax rate = Federal income tax liability
   4. Federal payroll tax liability
      Gross income × Federal payroll tax rate = Federal payroll tax liability
2. Calculate your total Arizona state income tax
   1. Arizona state taxable income
      Gross income adjusted − Arizona state itemized deductions = Arizona state taxable income
   2. Arizona state income tax liability
      State taxable income × Arizona state income tax rate = Arizona state income tax liability
3. Add up all the taxes
   Federal income tax liability + Federal payroll tax liability + Arizona state income tax liability = Your total income tax liability
