Alaska Income Tax Calculator (2026)

Alaska income tax in 2026 — the direct answer

Alaska has no state income tax in 2026. A single filer on $75,000 pays $0 Alaska tax, $7,670 federal tax and $5,738 FICA, keeping $61,592 a year ($5,133 a month, $2,369 biweekly). That result uses the $16,100 single standard deduction, so federal taxable income is $58,900, and Alaska adds nothing at any income level.

Key Takeaways

• Alaska state income tax on wages in 2026: $0 at every income level.
• Federal tax still applies: 10% to 37% brackets, with a $16,100 single / $32,200 married filing jointly standard deduction (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32).
• FICA: 6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500 (maximum $11,439), plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages, plus 0.9% additional Medicare only on wages over $200,000 single / $250,000 joint.
• There is no statewide sales tax in Alaska; local borough and city sales taxes vary by municipality and are not modelled here.
• The Permanent Fund Dividend is not wages and is not included in this calculator.

Why does Alaska have no income tax?

Alaska repealed its individual income tax in 1980. The state funds itself largely through oil and gas severance taxes and royalties and through earnings from the Permanent Fund, rather than through a tax on residents’ wages. That is why the Alaska line in the calculator above is $0 whether you earn $30,000 or $200,000 — only federal tax and FICA change with your pay.

What are the federal tax brackets for 2026?

Alaska has no state bracket table for 2026 — the state rate on wages is 0%. The table below is the federal table that does apply, from IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32. Brackets apply to taxable income (after the standard deduction), not to gross salary, and they are marginal: only the dollars inside each bracket are taxed at that rate.

Rate	Single	Married filing jointly
10%	$0–$12,400	$0–$24,800
12%	$12,401–$50,400	$24,801–$100,800
22%	$50,401–$105,700	$100,801–$211,400
24%	$105,701–$201,775	$211,401–$403,550
32%	$201,776–$256,225	$403,551–$512,450
35%	$256,226–$640,600	$512,451–$768,700
37%	Over $640,600	Over $768,700

How much take-home pay do I get in Alaska on $75,000?

Take a single filer earning $75,000 in wages in 2026, with no pre-tax deductions. Federal taxable income is $75,000 − $16,100 = $58,900, which gives federal tax of $7,670. Alaska tax is $0. FICA is $5,738. Take-home pay is therefore $61,592 a year — $5,133 a month, $2,369 biweekly and $1,184 weekly — before any 401(k), health insurance or other paycheck deductions. This worked example is an estimate, not a tax return.

How much take-home pay do I get in Alaska at every salary?

The table below is for a single filer in 2026, with no pre-tax deductions. Alaska tax is $0 throughout. On a phone, use the salary tabs below the table — they are built from these same rows.

Gross	Federal	Alaska	FICA	Take-home	Effective	Monthly	Biweekly
$30,000	$1,420	$0	$2,295	$26,285	12.4%	$2,190	$1,011
$50,000	$3,820	$0	$3,825	$42,355	15.3%	$3,530	$1,629
$75,000	$7,670	$0	$5,738	$61,592	17.9%	$5,133	$2,369
$100,000	$13,170	$0	$7,650	$79,180	20.8%	$6,598	$3,045
$150,000	$24,734	$0	$11,475	$113,791	24.1%	$9,483	$4,377
$200,000	$36,734	$0	$14,339	$148,927	25.5%	$12,411	$5,728

$200,000 FICA is $14,339, not $15,300, because Social Security stops at $184,500 of wages. Additional Medicare (0.9%) applies only to wages over $200,000, so it is $0 at exactly $200,000.

How does Alaska tax compare with federal tax?

Federal tax is the same in every state: 2026 federal brackets run 10% to 37%, with a $16,100 single / $32,200 joint standard deduction. What changes by state is only the state line — and in Alaska that line is $0. A move to Alaska therefore saves only the state-tax slice you would have paid elsewhere; your federal tax and FICA are unchanged.

What does this Alaska calculator not include?

• Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) — not wages, not included, and federally taxable as other income (Schedule 1, Form 1040, line 8g).
• Local borough and city sales taxes — these vary by municipality and are not modelled.
• Property tax.
• Alternative minimum tax (AMT).
• Self-employment tax.
• The federal temporary $6,000 senior deduction, which phases out above $75,000 / $150,000 MAGI.

Frequently asked questions

Does Alaska really have no income tax?

Yes. Alaska has no individual income tax on wages in 2026. The state tax is $0 at every income level, including on investment income and Social Security, for Alaska state tax purposes. Federal tax and FICA still apply.

Why does Alaska have no income tax, and how does the state pay for services?

Alaska repealed its individual income tax in 1980. The state funds itself largely through oil and gas severance taxes and royalties and through earnings from the Permanent Fund, rather than by taxing residents’ wages.

Is the Permanent Fund Dividend included in this calculator?

No. The Permanent Fund Dividend is an annual payment to eligible residents from oil-wealth fund earnings, not wages, so it is not included in this calculator. It was $1,000 per person in 2025 ($1,702 in 2024 including an energy relief payment), the amount varies yearly, and no 2026 amount is used on this page.

Is the Permanent Fund Dividend federally taxable?

Yes. The Permanent Fund Dividend is federally taxable as other income, reported on Schedule 1, Form 1040, line 8g. It is not subject to Alaska income tax, because Alaska has no individual income tax.

Does Alaska have a sales tax?

Alaska has no statewide sales tax. Local borough and city sales taxes exist and vary by municipality, roughly 0% to about 7% or more, and they are not modelled in this paycheck calculator.

Does Alaska tax Social Security or retirement income?

No. Alaska levies no individual income tax on Social Security or retirement income, so the Alaska state line is $0 for those amounts too. This calculator covers wages only; federal taxation of retirement income is separate and is not modelled here.

How is bonus pay treated in Alaska?

Bonus pay is wages. Alaska tax on it is $0, and federal tax and FICA still apply. Federal withholding on a bonus may differ from the annual bracket calculation used here, so treat the calculator result for a bonus as an estimate.

Do I need to file an Alaska state tax return for wages?

No. With no individual income tax on wages, there is no Alaska state income tax return to file for wage income. You still file a federal return for your wages.

How do pre-tax deductions work — 401(k) versus health insurance premiums?

Health insurance premiums (monthly amount × 12, capped at gross) reduce both FICA wages and income-taxable income. A 401(k) contribution (capped at gross minus health premiums) reduces income-taxable income only, never FICA. Both are subtracted before take-home pay is calculated.
