How Alaska taxes your paycheck in 2026

- Alaska has no state income tax and no statewide sales tax, though some cities and boroughs charge local sales taxes.
- Alaska is one of the few states where employees also pay a small unemployment insurance contribution (about 0.5% of wages up to the state wage base), which this estimate doesn't include.
