Arkansas's income tax is graduated: 5 brackets running from 0% to 3.9%, the 34th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $26,400. A single filer's first $5,600 of taxable income is taxed at 0% — on top of whatever the state lets you deduct first. Married couples filing jointly are taxed on exactly the same bracket widths as a single filer, so a two-earner couple hits the top rate at the same income one person would — the schedule itself carries a marriage penalty. A single filer subtracts a $2,470 standard deduction before the rates are applied, and a $29 personal exemption then comes off the tax itself rather than off income.
Arkansas 2025 tax brackets
Arkansas publishes one schedule that every filing status shares. Rates apply to state taxable income — income after the deductions in the next table, not your gross salary.

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.

State income tax on a single filer, after each state’s own deductions. Federal tax is identical wherever you live, so the difference between these rows is the whole difference.
What these Arkansas figures leave out
Recorded against Arkansas in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- Arkansas uses one bracket schedule for every filing status, and its 2026 indexed brackets had not been published when this was compiled.
- Above about $94,700 of net income Arkansas phases out the benefit of its lower brackets with a declining adjustment, so filers over that level owe roughly $330 more than the bracket walk here produces.
- Arkansas also publishes separate Low Income Tax Tables, with the standard deduction already built in, which are not modelled.
- Arkansas's personal exemption is a $29 credit per filer, applied here against the tax.
