Alaska income tax 2026
Alaska has no state income tax on wages and no statewide sales tax. The one payroll deduction Alaskans see that other no-tax states do not is the employee share of state unemployment insurance (about 0.5% up to the annual wage base). Residents may also receive the Permanent Fund Dividend each year, which is taxable federally.
Other deductions on a Alaska paycheck
Alaska does not require employees to pay into a state disability or paid-leave program, so apart from income tax the only mandatory deductions are federal Social Security and Medicare.
Federal income tax brackets 2026
Federal income tax is progressive: each rate applies only to the slice of taxable income inside its bracket, so moving into a higher bracket never reduces your take-home pay. These are the 2026 brackets from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32.
| Rate | Single | Married filing jointly | Head of household |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | $0 – $12,400 | $0 – $24,800 | $0 – $17,700 |

Why is my actual Alaska paycheck different from this estimate?
Payroll software withholds using the IRS and state withholding tables and your W-4 elections, spread evenly over the year. Differences usually come from benefit deductions, extra withholding on your W-4, local taxes, bonuses taxed at the 22% supplemental rate, or the Social Security cap being reached late in the year.
