Alabama Tax Overview
Alabama has one of the lowest property tax rates in the nation at approximately 0.40%, partly offset by higher combined sales tax rates that can exceed 10% in some jurisdictions.
Alabama is one of the few states that allows a full deduction for federal income taxes paid on the state return, which effectively lowers the state tax burden for most filers.
Alabama does not have a state minimum wage law, so the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr applies. Tipped employees receive $2.13/hr plus tips.
Local occupational taxes in cities like Birmingham (1%) and many counties add to the overall tax burden. Employers must register separately in each locality.
Alabama has no state disability insurance or paid family leave programs. The state sales tax of 4% is among the lower base rates, but local add-ons push combined rates much higher.
