Understanding Your Tax Burden

At $70,000 gross income in Arizona, your marginal federal tax bracket is 22% — but your effective federal rate is only 10.3% because the progressive tax system taxes different portions of your income at different rates. Arizona's 2.5% state income tax adds $1,750 to your annual tax bill.

Your total effective tax rate of 20.5% means you keep $55,654 out of every $70,000 earned (79.5%). For strategies to reduce your tax burden, consider maximizing 401(k) contributions ($23,000/year for 2024), HSA contributions, and itemizing deductions if they exceed $14,600.
