Alaska Payroll Tax Calculator 2026
Alaska is one of nine states with no individual income tax on wages. Alaska workers only pay federal income tax and FICA. Alaska also has no state sales tax, making it one of the lowest total tax burden states.
Because Alaska has no state income tax, your full paycheck is only subject to federal income tax withholding and FICA (Social Security + Medicare). This can result in take-home pay that is $200–$500/month higher than equivalent earnings in high-tax states like California or New York.
