Alaska Paycheck Taxes
Alaska does not levy an individual state income tax, so no state withholding is deducted from a Alaska paycheck. Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply the same way they do in every state.
Alaska also has employee-paid payroll taxes beyond income tax withholding: Employment Security Tax (employee share). These are calculated separately from state income tax and shown as their own line items in your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Alaska have state income tax?
No. Alaska is one of nine states with no individual income tax, so nothing is withheld from an Alaska paycheck for state income tax.
If Alaska has no income tax, why isn't my paycheck the same as my gross pay?
Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply in every state, including Alaska. Alaska employees also pay the state's Employment Security Tax, an employee-side unemployment insurance contribution that isn't related to income tax at all.
What is the Alaska Employment Security Tax?
It's a 0.5% employee-paid payroll tax that funds Alaska's unemployment insurance program, withheld on wages up to the state's own annual wage base ($54,200 for 2026) — a separate cap from the federal Social Security wage base. The calculator shows it as its own line item, distinct from any income tax.
Does Alaska have local income taxes?
No Alaska municipality imposes a local wage income tax, so this calculator doesn't need a locality input for Alaska.
