How Alaska paycheck tax works
Alaska levies no state personal income tax on wages. No state income tax is withheld from paychecks, including overtime and bonuses. Alaska is one of the few states with an EMPLOYEE-paid unemployment contribution withheld from pay (see other_paycheck_items).
A few other items come out of the same check. Alaska withholds an employee-paid unemployment insurance contribution of 0.50% of wages up to the $54,200 wage base in 2026. This is not income tax but is deducted from employee pay.
To estimate your paycheck, the calculator annualizes your pay and applies federal income tax and FICA. Alaska adds no state income tax of its own. Read it as a close estimate: your employer's payroll can land a little differently, since it may use exact per-period tables.
