Alaska does not tax personal income, so a resident earning Alaska's median household income of $91,260 owes $0 in Alaska income tax. Only federal income tax and FICA are withheld from wages.

Based on 2026 Alaska rules and 2026 federal rules, with the standard deduction and no other adjustments. Median income is the 2024 Census figure.

Income tax in Alaska

Alaska withholds nothing from wages at the state level, and it goes a step further by paying residents rather than billing them: the Permanent Fund Dividend sends an annual check to every eligible resident. The 2025 dividend was $1,000, well down from 2024's $1,702, which had included a separate Energy Relief Payment. That money is not tax-free, however — the Alaska Department of Revenue states that dividends for adults are taxable for federal income tax purposes, and the PFD Division issues a 1099-MISC, so the payment lands on your federal return as income even though Alaska itself taxes none of it. The state's own collections lean on industry instead: the mining license tax, for instance, runs on a graduated schedule topping out at 7% of net income above $100,000 under AS 43.65.010(c).

Alaska income tax structure (2026)

Alaska has no state income tax. Wages, salaries, and self-employment income are untaxed at the state level — only federal income tax and FICA come out of your paycheck.

Common questions

Do I file a Alaska income tax return?
Not for wage income. Alaska has no individual income tax for 2026, so your only income tax return is the federal one, and a $91,260 income — Alaska's median — owes the state $0.
How much income tax is due on the median Alaska income?
On Alaska's median household income of $91,260 (2024 Census figure), a single filer owes about $11,247 in federal income tax and $0 to Alaska. Adding $6,981 of Social Security and Medicare leaves roughly $73,031.
What taxes do I still pay in Alaska?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base) and Medicare (1.45%) still apply — together about $18,229 a year at Alaska's $91,260 median income. Alaska raises its own revenue through oil and gas royalties and Permanent Fund earnings.
Why is take-home pay higher in Alaska?
Only because the state line is zero — federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere. At Alaska's $91,260 median income, the typical income-taxing state would take about $3,754 more per year that Alaska residents keep.

Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax advice. Alaska figures are simplified (credits, local taxes, and AGI adjustments vary) and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. Alaska has no state income tax, so there is no state schedule to simplify — this calculator covers what comes out of your pay, not the oil and gas royalties and Permanent Fund earnings that Alaska relies on instead.
