What stays in your pocket on the median salary

ESTIMATED TAKE-HOME PAY

$2,827 a month
Federal tax $2,816 · FICA $3,185 · State tax $1,701

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.
