What to do next
How it works
The calculator starts from your income after pre-tax contributions, subtracts Alabama's standard deduction and personal exemptions where they exist, and applies a graduated state income tax with 3 brackets from 2% to 5%. Personal credits come off the tax. Alabama allows a standard deduction of up to $3,000 for single filers that shrinks as income rises and a personal exemption of $1,500.
Things to keep in mind
Some cities or counties in Alabama levy their own income or wage tax, which is not included here. Itemized deductions and state-specific credits are not applied, so filers with large deductions will owe less than shown.
Some Alabama rules, such as high-income phase-outs or special rates on certain income, are left out of this estimate. The state revenue department's own calculator or instructions have the full detail.

Alabama uses 3 brackets from 2% to 5%. Only income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.
What is the Alabama standard deduction?
$3,000 for single filers in 2026 and $8,500 for married couples filing jointly. These are the full amounts. The deduction gets smaller as income rises, and the calculator applies that.
Does Alabama tax Social Security or retirement income?
This calculator is for wages and ordinary income. Alabama's treatment of Social Security, pensions and retirement account withdrawals follows separate rules that are not applied here.
Are there local income taxes in Alabama?
Yes. Some cities, counties or school districts in Alabama add their own income or wage tax. They are not included in this estimate.
