What this calculator models for Alabama
Every figure above comes from a published Alabama document. These are the rules behind those figures that this calculator applies, approximates, or leaves out.
| Rule | In this calculator |
|---|---|
| Alabama lets you subtract the federal income tax you owe from the income it taxes, and this calculator applies that subtraction. | Modelled |
| Alabama lets an allowance it subtracts from income shrink as income rises rather than fixing it, and this calculator uses the figure that applies at the top of that slide. From $35,500 of income upward, the figure used here is the exact one. | Not modelled |
| Some municipalities in Alabama levy their own earned income tax, set by the address you live at rather than by the state, and this calculator does not apply it. | Not modelled |
