Arkansas Income Tax Calculator
Estimate your Arkansas state income tax (and federal income tax) for 2025 — enter your gross salary and filing status to see your income tax and take-home pay.
Estimate for the 2025 tax year, for general information only — not tax advice. It applies federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and state income tax on the standard deduction. It does not account for local/city taxes, tax credits, additional exemptions, pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, health premiums) or special circumstances, so your actual paycheck will differ. State figures are simplified and married-filing-jointly is approximated. Verify with the IRS and your state tax authority or a tax professional.

The calculator applies the 2025 federal tax brackets, Social Security and Medicare, and Arkansas’s income tax. It uses the standard deduction and does not include pre-tax deductions (401(k), health insurance), local city taxes or tax credits, so treat the result as a close estimate rather than exact payroll.

Is this the same as my actual paycheck?
It is a close estimate, not an exact match. Real payroll withholding also depends on your W-4 details, pre-tax deductions like 401(k) and health insurance, local city taxes, and tax credits — none of which are included here. Use it to compare scenarios and states; rely on your pay stub or a tax professional for exact figures.
What is FICA on my paycheck?
FICA is the combined Social Security and Medicare payroll tax. Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to an annual cap ($176,100 in 2025); Medicare is 1.45% on all wages, with an extra 0.9% on wages above $200,000. Your employer pays a matching amount that does not come out of your paycheck.
