Income tax in Arkansas
Arkansas's top income tax rate is 3.9% for tax year 2025; a further cut to 3.7% applies starting in 2026. Arkansas excludes 50% of net capital gains from taxable income (and all gains above $10 million), so this estimate — which taxes gains at ordinary rates — will overstate the tax on large capital gains.
