Standard deduction and exemption in Arizona
The 2026 standard deduction is $8,350 for single filers and $16,700 for married filing jointly. In Arizona, that means the first $8,350 of a single filer's pay is taxed at zero before the schedule even starts.
Worked example: the brackets on a $75,000 salary
A single filer earning $75,000 in Arizona first removes the standard deduction, leaving $66,650 of taxable income. Each bracket then takes its slice:
| Bracket range | Income in bracket | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 and up | $66,650 | 2.5% | $1,666 |
Total Arizona income tax: $1,666, an effective rate of 2.22% of gross pay. The marginal rate, the rate on the next dollar Arizona taxes, is 2.5%; a raise that crosses into that bracket pays 2.5% only on the dollars above the line, never on the whole salary.

How Arizona compares with other states
How Arizona compares: on a $75,000 salary, the $1,666 a single filer pays ranks 40th highest among the 42 states and districts that tax wages in 2026, just behind Louisiana at $1,864 and just ahead of Ohio at $1,280.
A flat rate makes the marginal math unusually clean: every extra $1,000 of taxable income in Arizona adds exactly $25 of tax, no matter which end of the pay scale it lands on. A single filer's Arizona tax bill passes $1,000 at a gross salary of about $48,350, once the standard deduction has done its work.
