About Alabama income tax
Alabama uses a progressive state income tax from 2% to 5%, applied alongside federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare withholdings.
Alabama counties and some cities (notably Birmingham) levy a local occupational tax, typically 1-2% of wages, on top of the state rate. This calculator does not include local occupational taxes — check with your city if you live in one that has one.
