Arizona Salaries
How Arizona salaries compare to the national market
Arizona trade wages run about 2% below the national median (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.98 Arizona wage index to national medians. The semiconductor build-out is erasing that gap in metro Phoenix: TSMC's Fab 21 campus and Intel's Chandler expansion have made pipefitters, electricians and HVAC techs some of the most recruited workers in the state, and Phoenix–Mesa pays about 4% above the state figure. Arizona taxes wages at a flat 2.5%, the lowest flat income tax in the country, with no local wage taxes.
