Which 2026 rules apply to your Alaska paycheck?
Tick the boxes that describe your pay. The Alaska pointers then show only those.
Tips: federally deductible, and Alaska runs on oil revenues and the Permanent Fund rather than a wage tax, so nothing more is claimed at state level. Work out the tip deduction
Overtime: federally deductible, and Alaska has no wage tax to tax overtime premium pay anyway. Work out the overtime deduction
Bonuses: Alaska sets no income tax on wages, so its unemployment insurance contributions are the only Alaska deduction a bonus could carry. Estimate the tax on a bonus in Alaska
Turning 65: the $6,000 federal senior deduction is the only one to claim, because Alaska taxes no wages, and it does not reduce Alaska's unemployment insurance contributions either. Check the senior deduction
Use this free Alaska (AK) paycheck and payroll calculator to estimate your 2026 take-home pay. Alaska runs on oil revenues and the Permanent Fund, not a wage tax, so what comes out is federal tax, FICA and Alaska's unemployment insurance contributions.

No state income tax in Alaska — so what still shrinks your 2026 paycheck?
Because Alaska levies no state income tax, nothing on your 2026 check goes to a state income tax line. Your pay is still reduced by federal withholding, FICA, and the unemployment insurance contributions Alaska takes from employee wages, and all of those are in the estimate above. Alaska levies neither a state income tax nor a statewide sales tax, and it pays eligible residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend from oil revenues.
What this estimate doesn't include: City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those. No state income tax does not mean no state payroll deductions. Alaska withholds unemployment insurance contributions from wages, and the take-home figure above already subtracts those, so your stub is the check on anything else your employer takes out.
Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.
State Unemployment Insurance: what else Alaska takes from your check
Alaska runs employee-funded payroll programs that come off your check on top of income tax and FICA:
| Program | Employee rate (2026) | Wage base / cap |
|---|---|---|
| State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) — employee share | 0.50% | $54,200 taxable wage base (2026); max employee contribution ~$271/yr |
Included in your take-home: the AK SUI (employee) contribution is subtracted from the take-home estimate at the top of this page. These are withheld after tax and do not lower your taxable income.
Your paycheck vs the $95,665 Alaska median
| Median household income (2024) | $95,665 |
| Take-home (single filer) | ≈$75,859 |
No city or county income tax anywhere in Alaska
No state individual income tax and no local/municipal income taxes. (Localities may levy local SALES taxes, but not income taxes.)
Alaska's own $14.00 minimum wage — above the federal floor (2026)
$14.00/hour (≈$29,120/year full-time). $13.00/hr through June 30, 2026, rising to $14.00/hr on July 1, 2026 under Ballot Measure 1 (2024). Increases again to $15.00 on July 1, 2027. No tip credit allowed.
Is overtime and tips tax-free in Alaska? Federally yes — no Alaska wage tax anyway
For tax years 2025 to 2028 there is a federal deduction for qualified overtime premium pay and tips (OBBBA caps & rules). FICA comes out either way.

Two Alaska payroll quirks worth knowing
- Alaska is one of only three states (with New Jersey and Pennsylvania) where employees pay into state unemployment insurance: 0.50% withheld from wages up to a $54,200 wage base in 2026 (max ~$271/yr) — a true paycheck deduction in an otherwise no-income-tax, no-state-sales-tax state.
- Alaska pays residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend instead of taxing them — the 2025 PFD was $1,000 per eligible resident; note the PFD is taxable for FEDERAL income tax (reported on 1099-MISC) even though there is no state income tax.
What Alaska levies instead: 0% sales tax and property tax
| Sales tax | 0% (≈1.82% with local) |
| Property tax | ≈0.94% — Mid-range effective property-tax rate (Tax Foundation 2026, owner-occupied housing value); many Alaska boroughs levy no property tax at all. |
