How Alaska taxes your paycheck
No state income tax and no statewide sales tax. State services are funded mainly by oil revenue and the Permanent Fund, so wages carry only federal tax and FICA.
What the median earner keeps in Alaska
Median earnings in Alaska are about $50,872 for people with earnings, and median household income is $95,665. A single filer earning that amount takes home roughly $3,588 a month, an effective rate of 15.4% once federal, FICA and state taxes are applied.
Earnings and income are 2024 ACS one-year estimates covering everyone with earnings, so part-time and part-year workers pull this median below a full-time salary. State tax figures come from the state revenue department.
Common questions about Alaska paychecks
Does Alaska tax wage income?
No. Alaska does not tax wage income, so a paycheck only meets federal income tax and FICA. The state still raises revenue through other taxes, so a high take-home figure here is not the same as a tax-free paycheck.
What is the standard deduction in Alaska?
Alaska offers no standard deduction against wage income, so state tax starts from the first taxable dollar unless a personal exemption reduces the base.
Are there local taxes on top of Alaska state tax?
No city-level income tax applies to wages in Alaska.
How much does a $50,872 salary take home in Alaska?
At the $50,872 median wage for people with earnings, a single filer keeps about $3,588 a month, or $43,056 a year. That is an effective rate of 15.4% once federal income tax, FICA and state tax are applied.
Take-home pay by salary in Alaska
Same state, different salaries. Each figure is its own page: federal brackets and FICA are progressive, and the state's other taxes apply on top of the exact salary shown.
If you are paid by the hour in Alaska
Hourly pay becomes a salary through 40 hours a week × 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours, and then federal income tax and FICA take their share. Four rates are worked through separately, each with its own net-per-hour figure:

Where these federal figures come from
The federal side of this page is not an estimate of an estimate. The brackets and the standard deduction come from the IRS annual inflation notice, the Social Security wage base from the SSA, and the 401(k) deferral limit from the IRS contribution-limit notice.
