What to do next

How it works

The calculator starts from your income after pre-tax contributions, subtracts Arkansas's standard deduction and personal exemptions where they exist, and applies a graduated state income tax with 5 brackets from 0% to 3.7%. Personal credits come off the tax. Arkansas allows a standard deduction of $2,470 for single filers and a personal credit of $29.

Things to keep in mind

Arkansas has no local income taxes. Itemized deductions and state-specific credits are not applied, so filers with large deductions will owe less than shown.

Some Arkansas rules, such as high-income phase-outs or special rates on certain income, are left out of this estimate. The state revenue department's own calculator or instructions have the full detail.
