How Arkansas taxes your paycheck in 2026
Arkansas uses 2 tax brackets in 2026. Rates apply to taxable income — your salary minus the $2,470 state standard deduction for single filers. Brackets are marginal: crossing into a higher bracket only raises the rate on income above that threshold, not on your whole salary. Federal income tax and FICA apply on top.
| Taxable income (single filer) | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $4,600 | 2% |
| Over $4,600 | 3.7% |
