Alaska has no state income tax
Alaska is one of nine US states that does not levy a state income tax on wages. Residents pay only federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500), and Medicare (1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% above $200,000 for single filers).
While there is no income tax, Alaska may fund its government through other means such as sales tax, property tax, or severance taxes on natural resources. The absence of income tax can result in significantly higher take-home pay compared to high-tax states.
On a $100,000 salary in Alaska, you'd take home $79,180 after federal taxes, Social Security, and Medicare — an effective total tax rate of 20.8%. With no state income tax, more of your paycheck stays with you compared to most states.
Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax. It funds government primarily through oil revenue.
