Calculating your Alabama state income tax is similar to the steps we listed on our Federal paycheck calculator:
- Figure out your filing status
- Work out your adjusted gross income [Net income – Adjustments = Adjusted gross income]
- Calculate your taxable income [Adjusted gross income – (Standard/Itemized deductions + Exemptions) = Taxable income]
- Understand your income tax liability [Taxable income × Income tax rate = Income tax liability]
- Minus any tax liability, deductions, withholdings [Net income – (Income tax liability + Pre-tax deductions + Post-tax deductions + Withholdings) = Your paycheck]
State payroll tax
There are no state payroll taxes in Alabama.
