How Alabama taxes your paycheck
Alabama has a graduated income tax from 2% to 5% across 3 brackets. Alabama is one of the few states that lets you deduct the federal income tax you pay, and its standard deduction shrinks as income rises, from $3,000 down to $2,500 for single filers.
Some Alabama cities and counties, such as Birmingham, charge an occupational tax on wages. Enter your local rate in the calculator if it applies to you.
Every paycheck also loses federal income tax (10% to 37% after a $16,100 standard deduction for single filers), 6.2% for Social Security on wages up to $184,500, and 1.45% for Medicare, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000.
