How is Arizona income tax calculated?

What is the difference between my marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the rate on your next dollar of income: the top bracket you reach. Your effective rate is your total tax divided by your income. Because lower slices of income are taxed at lower rates, the effective rate is always lower. At $75,000 in Arizona, the combined marginal rate is 24.5% but the effective income tax rate is 12.4%.
