## Arkansas Paycheck FAQ

Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Arkansas

### What is the Arkansas state income tax rate for 2026?

The top rate is 3.7%. Arkansas uses different schedules depending on net income. Above $94,700, tax is 2% on the first $4,700 and 3.7% on the rest. Up to $94,700, a lower schedule starts at 0% on the first $5,599, then 2%, 3% and 3.4%, reaching 3.7% at $26,400. Both come from Act 1 of the 2026 First Extraordinary Session, approved May 6, 2026.

### Which Arkansas schedule does this calculator use?

The one for net income over $94,700, at every income. That's exact for higher earners but overstates Arkansas tax if your net income is $97,600 or less: below $94,700 the lower schedule applies, and between $94,701 and $97,600 Arkansas subtracts a small bracket adjustment. The difference is about $287 a year for net income from $26,400 to $94,700 and at most $290, just above $94,700. For a lower-income paycheck, treat the result as an upper bound.

### What are the Arkansas standard deduction and personal credit?

The 2026 standard deduction is $2,470 per taxpayer, so $4,940 on a joint return. The personal tax credit is $29 for single or married-filing-separately filers and $58 for married filing jointly, head of household or qualifying widow(er). The calculator applies both. Dependent, age-65 and blind credits aren't included. Arkansas indexes its brackets and deduction each year but hasn't published indexed 2026 figures, so these may still change.

### How much Arkansas tax is withheld from a bonus?

3.7%. Arkansas's 2026 employer withholding instructions say to deduct 3.7% of a bonus or commission paid with regular wages.
