Arizona wage law in 2026, $15.15 and a withholding percentage you choose
Checked against Arizona agency and statute sources on 26 October 2026. Sources are listed at the end of this section.
| Minimum wage | $15.15 an hour (US DOL state table, July 2026). Arizona raises it every 1 January by the August-to-August CPI, rounded to the nearest 5 cents (A.R.S. 23-363). |
|---|---|
| Tipped employees | $12.15 cash wage; the tip credit is capped at $3.00 (A.R.S. 23-363). |
| Overtime | No Arizona overtime statute; the federal rule applies, 1.5 times after 40 hours a week. |
| Payday rule | Two or more fixed paydays a month, no more than 16 days apart (A.R.S. 23-351). |
| Final paycheck | Fired: within 7 working days or by the end of the next pay period, whichever is sooner. Quit: the regular payday (A.R.S. 23-353). |
| State income tax withholding | The employee picks 0.5% to 3.5% of gross taxable wages on Form A-4; without a form the employer withholds 2.0%. |
| Paid sick time | 1 hour per 30 hours worked, with yearly caps of 40 hours at employers with 15 or more employees and 24 hours at smaller ones (A.R.S. 23-372). |
Arizona’s minimum wage was set by voters in 2016 and has been indexed to inflation since, so it changes every 1 January. The law rounds each year’s increase to the nearest five cents and limits the tip credit to $3.00, which keeps the cash wage for tipped workers at $12.15. The same ballot measure created paid sick time: one hour for every 30 hours worked, up to 40 hours a year at larger employers.
Arizona withholds income tax differently from most states. Instead of tax tables, each employee chooses a flat percentage of gross taxable wages on Form A-4: 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0% or 3.5%, plus any extra amount. An employee who does not turn in the form is withheld at 2.0%. The choice changes only how much is taken during the year; the real tax is settled on the return.
Worked paycheck for full time at the Arizona minimum wage
At $15.15 an hour a full-time year is $31,512. Paid biweekly, each check covers 80 hours.
| Gross pay, biweekly ($15.15 × 80 hours) | $1,212.00 |
| Federal income tax (2026 brackets, standard deduction) | −$61.59 |
| Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) | −$92.72 |
| Arizona income tax, calculator estimate | −$30.30 |
| Take-home per paycheck | $1,027.39 |
| Take-home per year ($31,512 gross) | $26,712 |
The calculator estimates Arizona tax at 2.5% of pay, $30.30 a check. What actually comes out of the check is the Form A-4 percentage: at the 2.0% default it is $24.24 a check, $630.24 a year; at 3.5% it would be $42.42. Any difference from the tax actually owed comes back, or is due, when the return is filed.
