Hi case74, good day!
From gross pay ($12 x 40 hours x 52 weeks) to net take home pay, there are various deductions for an employee:
Federal income tax;
Social security tax 6.2% up to $142,800 for 2021;
Medicare tax 1.45% unlimited;
AR state income tax;
and other company related deductions, if any.
Depending on how to you fill out Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Certificate, Federal/state income tax withholdings vary.
For Federal withholding, please refer to W-4 instruction table.

AR income tax rates range from 0% to 6.6%. Please refer to below link for Withholding Tax tables.
