Alaska Tax Calculator
Alaska is one of the few states that levies no personal income tax at all, so this calculator will always return a zero state-tax result for Alaska wages. Alaska also stands apart from other no-income-tax states by having no statewide sales tax either, funding government services mainly through oil revenue instead. Residents still owe federal income tax and payroll taxes, and many also receive an annual dividend payment that counts as taxable income on the federal return.

Frequently asked questions
How much state income tax will I pay in Alaska?
None — Alaska does not levy a personal income tax, so this calculator returns a zero result for the state-tax line no matter how much you earn. You'll still owe federal income tax and payroll taxes on the same income, which the calculator estimates separately.
Does Alaska tax Social Security or retirement income?
No. Because Alaska has no state income tax of any kind, no category of income — wages, retirement distributions, or investment income — is taxed at the state level.
What taxes do Alaska residents pay instead of income tax?
Alaska has no statewide sales tax either, so the state relies heavily on oil-related revenue. Some local municipalities do levy their own sales taxes, and property taxes are assessed locally.
Is Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend taxable?
The annual Permanent Fund Dividend paid to Alaska residents is not subject to state tax, since Alaska has no state income tax, but it is treated as taxable income on your federal return.
