Take-home pay in Arkansas by salary

Single filer, no pre-tax deductions, 2026 rates. The effective rate climbs from 17.9% at $30,000 to 30.2% at $200,000, because federal withholding and Arkansas's own rates are both banded.

$200,000.00	$139,663.29	$11,558.52	$5,334.70	30.2%

Monthly and biweekly figures differ slightly because withholding is spread over a different number of paychecks. Above $184,500.00 Social Security stops for the rest of the year, so later paychecks run larger; the yearly column accounts for that.

What Arkansas takes from your pay

Arkansas cut its top rate to 3.7% for 2026 — the fourth cut in four years.
The first $5,600 you earn is taxed at 0%, and the standard deduction takes another $2,470 off before that.
Each exemption is worth $29 off the tax itself, not off your income.
Above $94,700 Arkansas switches to a different, simpler table, and the tax jumps at that point rather than easing in.

Paid by the hour in Arkansas?

The calculator above switches to an hourly rate — pick Hourlyunder pay type and enter your rate and weekly hours. If you want the short answer first, here is what common rates come to in Arkansas at a 40-hour week.

Hourly pay after tax in Arkansas, 2026
Rate	You keep per hour	Every 2 weeks	Per year
$15/hr	$12.28	$982.71	$25,550.39
$18/hr	$14.58	$1,166.67	$30,333.35

$40/hr	$30.23	$2,418.40	$62,878.39

Based on 40 hours a week for all 52 weeks — 2080 hours a year. Fewer hours or unpaid weeks lower every figure here.
Overtime is not included. When you do work it, only the premium part — the extra half in time-and-a-half — counts towards the federal overtime deduction; the rest is taxed as ordinary pay.
Hourly work is often paid weekly rather than every two weeks. The total tax over a year is the same either way; only how it is spread changes.

What the state line is worth

Federal tax and FICA are the same wherever you work, so moving across a state line changes exactly one line on your pay stub. Here is that line on a $60,000 salary paid every two weeks, for Arkansas and each state it borders.

State deduction per paycheck, 2026
State	Comes out per paycheck	Per year
Arkansas	$66.63	$1,732.41
Tennessee	nothing	nothing
Texas	nothing	nothing
Louisiana	$56.45	$1,467.75
Mississippi	$64.15	$1,668.00
Missouri	$72.41	$1,882.67
Oklahoma	$82.87	$2,154.50

The widest gap is Oklahoma, where $422.09 more a year comes out of the same salary than in Arkansas.

What changed for 2026

On a $75,000 salary in Arkansas, take-home pay is $17.08 higher per paycheck than in 2025 — about $444.00 over the year.

The standard deduction rose to $16,100 for single filers, so less of your pay is taxed.
The Social Security wage base rose to $184,500, so higher earners pay the 6.2% on more of their income.
The top rate fell from 3.9% to 3.7%, signed on 6 May 2026 and applied retroactively to 1 January.

How the calculation works

Start with gross pay. Your salary divided by the number of paychecks in the year, or your hourly rate times hours worked.
Subtract pre-tax deductions. A 401(k) contribution lowers the income that federal tax is calculated on — but not the amount FICA is charged on.
Apply federal income tax. The IRS percentage method: annualise your pay, then run it through the Publication 15-T withholding schedule. The first $7,500.00 is withheld at 0% — that band stands in for the standard deduction — and the rates step up from there. Divide the result back down to one paycheck.
Apply FICA. Social Security takes 6.2% up to the $184,500.00 annual wage base; Medicare takes 1.45% with no cap, plus 0.9% more on wages above $200,000.
Apply Arkansas state tax. Arkansas takes its own allowance off your pay first, then applies rates from 2% to 3.7% to what is left — so the share of your paycheck that goes to the state is lower than the headline rate.
