What Is Arkansas Paycheck Calculator?
The Arkansas paycheck calculator estimates net regular wages after 2026 federal withholding, employee Social Security and Medicare, Arkansas withholding, and entered payroll deductions.
Arkansas publishes detailed wage tables and identifies 3.9% as the current withholding rate. This page uses that 3.9% rate after any annual state deduction you enter, so it is a simplified planning model rather than a reproduction of every AR4EC table result.

How the Arkansas Paycheck Calculator Works
Federal withholding follows the 2026 percentage method. FICA applies to taxable wages with the entered year-to-date amount used for wage thresholds.
The Arkansas portion multiplies annualized taxable wages after an optional entered state deduction by 3.9%, then divides by pay periods.
Estimated net pay = gross − deductions − 2026 federal withholding − FICA − simplified Arkansas withholding
Example
At $2,000 biweekly taxable pay with no additional state deduction, the simplified Arkansas component is $52,000 × 3.9% ÷ 26 = $78.00 per paycheck. Official wage tables may differ.
