Why Alaska has no income tax

Alaska repealed its personal income tax in 1980 after oil revenues began funding most of state government. It remains the only state with neither a statewide income tax nor a statewide sales tax, although some municipalities and boroughs levy their own local sales taxes. Because the state takes nothing from your wages, an Alaskan earning $75,000 keeps thousands of dollars more per year than a worker in a high-tax state on the same salary.

The Permanent Fund Dividend: a state that pays you

Alaska is unique in another way: the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) pays eligible residents an annual dividend from the state's oil-royalty investment fund. The amount changes every year depending on fund performance and legislative decisions. The PFD is taxable on your federal return, but Alaska itself doesn't tax it — there's no state income tax to tax it with.

What still comes out of your paycheck

Only two things: federal income tax (progressive brackets with the 2026 standard deduction) and FICA — Social Security at 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare at 1.45%, plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on earnings above $200,000 for single filers. This calculator estimates both line items. Local sales taxes, where they exist, affect your spending, not your paycheck.

Frequently asked questions

Does Alaska have a state income tax in 2026? ▼

No. Alaska has not taxed personal income since 1980. Wages, salaries, pensions, and investment income are all free of state income tax — only federal taxes apply.

Does Alaska tax Social Security or retirement income? ▼

No. With no state income tax at all, Social Security benefits, pensions, and retirement-account withdrawals are completely untaxed at the state level, making Alaska popular with retirees despite its climate.

What is the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend? ▼

The PFD is an annual cash payment to qualifying Alaska residents, funded by investment earnings on the state's oil-wealth savings fund. The amount varies year to year. It's taxable federally but not by Alaska.

How much is $75,000 after taxes in Alaska? ▼

A single filer earning $75,000 takes home about $61,593 per year after federal income tax and FICA — with $0 going to the state. That's among the highest take-home figures of any state at this salary.

Does Alaska have sales tax instead? ▼

There is no statewide sales tax, but some cities and boroughs levy local sales taxes, typically in the 2%–7% range. These don't come out of your paycheck.
