How This Calculator Works
Arkansas has a graduated income tax with 2 rates, from 2.00% up to 3.90%, which starts at $4,600 of taxable income for every filing status. Before the rates apply, Arkansas gives a standard deduction of $2,470 ($4,940 for married couples filing jointly) and a personal credit of $29 that comes off the tax itself. Long-term capital gains get a break: 50% of them is left out of Arkansas taxable income.
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $2,712 in Arkansas tax, 3.6% of pay. That is 24th of 51, near the middle, and $116 more than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $5,512.
