Alaska income tax overview

Alaska has no state income tax, so residents keep more of every paycheck compared to most states.

Because Alaska collects no state income tax, workers here keep a larger portion of every paycheck compared to high-tax states like California (up to 13.3%) or New York (up to 10.9%). You still pay federal income tax and FICA taxes, but the absence of state tax can add up to thousands of dollars per year depending on your income.
