Arkansas charges 2-3.9% state income tax. Use the overtime tax calculator pre-loaded with Arkansas rates.
Open Overtime Tax Calculator →When you work overtime in Arkansas, each extra hour is subject to federal supplemental withholding (typically 22%), FICA (7.65%), and Arkansas's graduated rate (up to 3.9%) state tax. Without local income taxes, the state rate is the only additional layer. The overtime calculator shows you the real after-tax value of overtime work with Arkansas rates, so you can decide whether extra hours are worth it.
Arkansas uses a graduated income tax with brackets ranging from 2-3.9%. Lower income is taxed at lower rates, with the 3.9% top rate applying only to income in the highest bracket. This progressive structure means your effective state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate. Arkansas does not have local income taxes, so the state graduated rate is the total state-level income tax burden.
