Arizona Paycheck Calculator
Arizona employees choose a paycheck withholding percentage on Form A-4. The available 2026 elections range from zero to 3.5% of taxable wages. If a new employee has not submitted the form, the employer withholds at 2.0% until a selection is made.

Each pay period is calculated separately. A dash means the current per-paycheck deductions exceed pay at that frequency. Annualized pay repeats the selected paycheck; actual yearly totals can differ near wage and contribution limits.

How Arizona payroll deductions work
Arizona withholding uses the elected Form A-4 percentage plus any extra amount requested on that form. It is withholding toward annual tax, not an estimate of annual liability. Federal income tax withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T. Social Security and Medicare follow federal payroll rules.
