About Alabama income tax
Alabama uses progressive tax brackets ranging from 2% up to 5%. Because the system is progressive, your first dollars are taxed at the lowest rate and only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rates — so your effective rate is lower than the 5% top rate.
Many Alabama municipalities add a local occupational (wage) tax.
