Alaska income tax in 2026
Alaska is one of the states without a tax on wages, so the state line of the paycheck is only the payroll deductions below. Alaska has no state income tax, so the only state deduction on a paycheck is the employee share of unemployment insurance: 0.5% of wages up to $54,200 in 2026, at most $271 a year.
The Department of Revenue collects oil and gas taxes rather than taxes on wages.
