Arkansas has three income tax tables, for low, middle and high income earners.
The tax rates are applied to net income — that is, after deductions, allowances, credits and other adjustments are applied to gross income.
Your net income determines what table you are in, then different tax rates are applied to different portions of income to determine the total tax bill.
For example, a person who makes $100,000 a year in net income subject to taxation would pay:
•On the first $4,200 of income x 2%: $84
•On the next level of income, $4,100 x 4%: $164
•The next $91,700: $5,410
•Total — $5,658
>What if it was all subject to 5.9%? He or she would pay $5,900.
