How income is taxed
Federal income tax is progressive, so higher slices of income are taxed at higher rates. Your filing status, deductions and pre-tax contributions determine your taxable income. Start with the income tax calculator and then see the effect on your paycheck with the take-home paycheck calculator.
Pay and filing questions
To compare hourly, weekly and yearly pay, use the salary calculator. If you are married, the marriage tax calculator compares filing together with filing as two single people.

Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the Alabama Tax Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| Alabama income ($) | 60,000 |
|---|---|
| Deductions and exemptions ($) | 10,000 |
Results
| Alabama income tax | $2,460.00 |
|---|---|
| Taxable income | $50,000.00 |
| Effective rate | 4.1% |
With these inputs the calculator returns Alabama income tax: $2,460.00. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising Alabama income ($) from 60,000 to 72,000 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama income tax | $2,460.00 | $3,060.00 | +24.4% |
| Taxable income | $50,000.00 | $62,000.00 | +24% |
| Effective rate | 4.1% | 4.25% | +3.7% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
