Alaska Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Alaska
Does Alaska have a state income tax?
No. Alaska has never had a state income tax on wages. Federal income tax and FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%) are the only withholdings from your paycheck.
Why is Alaska's take-home pay higher than other states?
There is no state income tax withholding, so workers keep more of their gross pay. Alaska does have a higher cost of living in many areas, which offsets some of the savings.
What is the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend?
Alaska residents may receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) from the state's oil revenue investment fund. This is separate from your paycheck and is not factored into this calculator.
How does Alaska fund government services without income or sales tax?
Oil and mineral extraction revenue, federal funding, and Permanent Fund investment income. Alaska is the only state with neither an income tax nor a statewide sales tax.
