Alaska Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Alaska does not levy a state personal income tax on wage income. For workers, paycheck withholding includes federal income tax and FICA only, with no Alaska state line on the pay stub and no state filing for wage earnings. Residents of Alaska receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend from oil and resource revenue, paid as a separate distribution rather than deducted from or added to paychecks. Alaska has no State Disability Insurance program and no local jurisdiction levies a wage tax on employees. State revenue comes principally from oil severance and corporate income tax, both of which are paid by businesses, not by wage earners directly. This calculator estimates 2026 take-home pay for Alaska residents after federal tax and FICA, with support for pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions, single or married filing jointly, and standard or itemized deductions.
