Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500, and Medicare is 1.45% (plus 0.9% above $200,000).

Arizona has a flat 2.50% state income tax rate — the lowest flat income tax rate among states that levy an income tax (alongside North Dakota). After subtracting the standard deduction ($16,100 Single, $32,200 Married Filing Jointly, $24,150 Head of Household), taxable income is taxed at 2.50%. On Form A-4, employees elect a percentage of gross wages to withhold (default 2.0%). On top of state deductions, every worker pays federal income tax (based on your W-4), Social Security at 6.2%, and Medicare at 1.45%. For a single worker earning $25 an hour full time, total deductions come to about 17% of gross pay.
Arizona's statewide minimum wage is $15.15 per hour in 2026 (adjusted each January 1 for cost of living), and cities such as Flagstaff and Tucson enforce higher local minimum wages. Employers may take up to a $3.00/hour tip credit for tipped employees.
Arizona follows federal FLSA overtime rules: 1.5× the regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Enter your weekly overtime hours in the calculator to include them. Under the federal "no tax on overtime" rule for 2025–2028, you may be able to deduct up to $12,500 of the extra half of your overtime pay ($25,000 if married filing jointly) on your federal return. That deduction is claimed when you file, so it does not lower the withholding shown here unless you adjust your W-4.
Because Arizona switched to a flat 2.5% income tax, Form A-4 lets you choose a flat withholding percentage of your gross wages (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, or 3.5%). For most full-time workers, the 2.0% default election closely matches the 2.5% statutory tax after the standard deduction.
No. Arizona cities do not levy a local income tax on employee wages.
It uses the official 2026 withholding formulas, so for a standard W-4 and Dependent credits ($100/ea) with no other deductions it should be within a few dollars of your actual paycheck. Your real check will be lower if you have pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums (those also reduce your income tax), or extra withholding on your W-4.
