How Alaska paycheck taxes work
Alaska has no state income tax and also has no statewide sales tax, funded instead largely by oil and mineral revenue. Some municipalities do levy a local sales tax, but that has no effect on paycheck withholding, so an Alaska paycheck comes down to just federal tax and FICA, with no state withholding line at all.
Federal income tax is calculated using the 2026 IRS tax brackets after subtracting your standard deduction, based on your filing status. FICA is a flat 6.2% Social Security tax (up to the annual wage base) plus 1.45% Medicare tax, with an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on income above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly).

Frequently asked questions
Does Alaska have a state income tax?
No. Alaska does not tax wage income, so a Alaska paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA.
How is federal income tax calculated on a Alaska paycheck?
Federal tax is calculated on taxable income (gross pay minus your standard deduction) using the 2026 IRS marginal tax brackets, which apply the same way in every state, including Alaska. See "How Paycheck Withholding Works" for the full breakdown.
What is FICA and how much is withheld?
FICA is 6.2% Social Security (up to the annual wage base) plus 1.45% Medicare, with an additional 0.9% Medicare tax above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly). It applies the same way in every state, including Alaska.
Is this calculator exact?
No, it's an estimate based on standard 2026 tax tables and common assumptions. It doesn't account for every possible deduction, credit, filing situation, or local tax. For Alaska specifically, there's not much left to approximate: with no state tax to model, federal tax and FICA are the whole estimate. See the disclaimer above the breakdown for details.
