Alaska paycheck deductions explained

Alaska is one of nine U.S. states with no state income tax, and is unique in also having no statewide sales tax — the state relies heavily on oil revenue instead. A Alaska paycheck keeps more of the gross amount than an equivalent salary in most other states, since the only deductions are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security + Medicare).

How this calculator works

We start with your gross pay, apply the 2026 IRS standard deduction for your filing status, then run the remainder through the seven federal tax brackets (10% to 37%) so only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. Social Security (6.2%, up to the $184,500 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus an extra 0.9% above $200,000) come off next, followed by any applicable state tax.
