Estimate your Alabama paycheck after federal & state taxes (AL)
* Estimate using 2024 federal brackets and Alabama state tax data. Does not include local taxes.
Alabama uses a graduated income tax system with three brackets. Rates range from 2% on the first $500 of taxable income to 5% on income over $3,000 (for single filers). Alabama is one of the few states that allows you to deduct your federal income tax from your state taxable income, which can significantly lower your effective state tax rate.
