How sales tax works in Arizona

Arizona (AZ) applies a statewide base sales-tax rate of 5.6%. Most cities and counties add a local sales tax on top, so the combined rate you actually pay is usually higher than the state base — enter your local rate in the calculator above for an exact figure. Categories such as groceries, prescription drugs, and clothing are treated differently from state to state; this estimate assumes a fully taxable purchase.

What to know about Arizona sales tax

  • Arizona moved to a single flat income-tax rate of 2.5% — among the lowest flat rates in the country.
  • The 2.5% applies to taxable income after Arizona’s own deductions, which differ from the federal standard deduction.
  • Local jurisdictions add a transaction privilege (sales) tax on top of the state base, so combined rates run well above the state figure.
