How Arizona taxes a paycheck
Arizona is a flat-tax state: wage income is taxed at 2.5% regardless of how much you earn. A $14,600 standard deduction shields the first slice of income, so the effective state rate at $75,000 works out to 2.01% — noticeably under the headline number.
The signature of a flat tax is visible in the table: the effective state rate barely moves between $40,000 (1.59%) and $150,000 (2.26%), where a progressive state would show a steady climb. All of the progressivity in your total tax bill comes from the federal brackets. At $75,000, an extra $1,000 of salary keeps about $679 after federal, state, and Medicare take their marginal share.
How Arizona compares with other states
On a $75,000 salary, Arizona ranks #12 of 51 among the states and D.C. for take-home pay, $1,510 a year behind the no-income-tax states and $1,377 ahead of the median state. The nearest state above it is Ohio ($164 more per year); just below sits Louisiana, $365 behind. Rankings compare state and average local income taxes only — cost of living, housing, and sales taxes move real affordability in ways a paycheck never shows.
