How This Calculator Works
Alabama has a graduated income tax with 3 rates, from 2.00% up to 5.00%, which starts at $3,000 of taxable income for single filers and $6,000 for married couples filing jointly. Before the rates apply, Alabama gives a standard deduction of $3,000 ($8,500 for married couples filing jointly) and a personal exemption of $1,500 per filer.
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $3,127 in Alabama tax, 4.2% of pay. That is the 17th highest of 51, in the top third, and $531 more than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $6,253.
Alabama lets you deduct the federal income tax you paid, and its standard deduction shrinks as income rises. A few cities, such as Birmingham, charge a small occupational tax on wages earned there.
