Alabama Income Tax Calculator (2026 Filing Season)
Alabama 2025 brackets: 2%–5%, depending on income and filing status.
Alabama lets you deduct federal income tax paid on your state return — effective rates run lower than the brackets suggest.
We subtract Alabama's standard deduction ($3,000) automatically.
The same $75,000 income in a no-income-tax state (Texas, Florida, Tennessee…) would owe $0 in state income tax — a difference of $3,560 per year.
We only store your state and filing status — never your income.
