How Alaska taxes wages in 2026
Alaska repealed its personal income tax in 1980 once oil royalties began filling the treasury, and it remains the only state to have had one and abolished it. Residents typically receive money back instead, through the annual Permanent Fund Dividend.
Oil and gas severance revenue historically funded the state in place of an income tax, and residents typically receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend rather than paying in.
Other paycheck deductions: Alaska is one of the few states where employees contribute to unemployment insurance directly — a small percentage of wages up to an annual cap comes out of your check, separate from federal tax and FICA.
How Alaska compares
On wages, Alaska is tied with the other eight no-tax states — the federal and FICA math is the same everywhere, so a $75,000 salary nets $61,593 in all nine. The contrast is with states that do tax wages: Oregon, which uses one of the higher progressive rate schedules, with no sales tax; Idaho paycheck calculator at 5.3% keeps $58,471 of that same $75,000 — $3,122 less than Alaska; Colorado paycheck calculator at 4.4% keeps $59,001 of that same $75,000 — $2,592 less than Alaska.
Across a decade, the gap compounds: at $75,000 the difference between Alaska and a mid-range flat-tax state like Michigan runs roughly $29,410 in cumulative take-home, before any raises.

Does the Permanent Fund Dividend affect my taxes?
The PFD is not taxed by Alaska, but it is federally taxable income and must be reported on your federal return. It does not change your Alaska withholding, because Alaska withholds no income tax — but it can nudge your federal tax bill upward.
