What to know about a Arizona paycheck

State tax context

Arizona uses a state individual income-tax model that is separate from federal withholding. The calculator keeps the state estimate separate so you can see the effect of state tax on take-home pay.

Local and payroll factors

Your Arizona result may vary with filing status, dependents, retirement deductions, and any credits or adjustments that are not represented by the standard example.

How to use this estimate

For a final withholding decision, verify the current Arizona Department of Revenue rules and your employer’s state withholding form.
