How Arizona withholding works

Arizona withholds state income tax by its own withholding method.

Your employer uses your Arizona Form A-4, and the calculator asks its questions.

401(k) contributions, health premiums, and HSA contributions all lower the wages Arizona taxes, as they do for federal income tax.

For a bonus paid on its own check, Arizona withholding is worked out by the aggregate method: the bonus is added to a regular paycheck and taxed together.

Worth knowing in 2026

In Arizona you choose your own withholding: a percentage of your gross taxable wages, from 0.5% to 3.5%, on Form A-4. With no A-4, employers withhold 2.0%.

Questions

How much Arizona income tax comes out of my paycheck?

What is the take-home pay on $40,000 a year in Arizona?

Is this my annual tax bill?

No. It calculates paycheck withholding: what your employer takes out of each paycheck under IRS Publication 15-T and the state's withholding rules. What you finally owe is settled when you file your tax return.
