What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

Federal tax $8,128 · FICA $5,897 · State tax $3,208

Caveat: the Alabama 2026 Form 40 return instruction booklet was not retrieved as a single document. Brackets, standard deduction table and federal tax deduction rest on the 2026 Form 40ES worksheet and statute.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
