How Arizona taxes your paycheck
Arizona levies a flat 2.5% state income tax on all taxable wages—the lowest flat rate in the country—after collapsing its prior progressive brackets in 2023 under a tax-cut law signed by then-Governor Doug Ducey.
There are no Arizona city or county income taxes, but Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale collect Transaction Privilege Taxes that increase combined sales tax rates to 8.6%–10.7%, an indirect cost that can reduce the value of the low income tax.
Why this matters: Arizona transitioned from a four-bracket progressive system to a flat 2.5% rate in 2023, giving it the lowest flat income tax rate of any state that still levies one.
