Alaska Tax Brackets Compared to Other States (2026)
Alaska takes no state income tax on wages, which puts it at joint 1st of 51 with the other jurisdictions that charge nothing — against $8,192 in Oregon on the same $100,000 salary. What a worker here pays instead is federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and every figure below comes from the same 2026 engine that runs the Alaska salary calculator.
Where Alaska sits in the state-by-state ranking
| Rank | State | State tax on $100,000 | Effective state rate | Take-home pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alaska | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
| 2 | Florida | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
| 3 | Nevada | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
| 4 | New Hampshire | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
| 5 | South Dakota | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
| 6 | Tennessee | $0 | 0.00% | take-home pay |
Rank 1 is the lowest state income tax burden of the 51 jurisdictions modelled, rank 51 the highest, and states taking the same amount share a rank. The table shows the states immediately around Alaska plus its position against the two extremes; the full ranking of all 51 is on the comparison index.
Alaska's position at other salary levels, on the same ranking: $50,000: joint 1st, $0 · $150,000: joint 1st, $0 · $200,000: joint 1st, $0. A state can be cheap at one income and ordinary at another, because graduated brackets bite only above their thresholds — which is why the ranking on this page is quoted at a stated salary rather than as a permanent verdict.

How Alaska taxes income
Alaska does not tax wage income, so there is no state layer to add: what a worker here pays is federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare — the same federal rules that apply in every US state. That is the whole source of the gap against a taxed state, and it is why Alaska's take-home pay sits near the top of the ranking at every salary on this page.
Two rates matter and they are not the same number. The effective rate of 0.00% is what the state layer costs across the whole salary; the marginal rate in Alaska is zero, because the state takes nothing from a raise — always the higher of the two when a state levies tax, because the lower slices have already been taxed more cheaply. A raise is priced at the marginal rate, not the average one.
Figures on this page cover the 2026 and 2027 tax years and come from the same calculation engine as the calculator itself, so the comparison here and the take-home figure on Alaska's own pages cannot drift apart.

Alaska tax questions
Does Alaska have a state income tax?
No. Alaska does not tax wage income, so a worker here pays federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare only. On a $100,000 salary that means $20,820 in total deductions instead of the higher figure a taxed state would produce.
How much state income tax do you pay on $100,000 in Alaska?
$0 — an effective state rate of 0.00%. Total deductions including federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare come to $20,820, leaving $79,180 a year, about $6,598 a month.
How much more do the taxed states take than Alaska?
The highest-taxing jurisdiction modelled here, Oregon, takes $8,192 in state income tax on the same $100,000 salary — $8,192 more than Alaska, and $8,192 more in a single year. Alaska is not unique in this: 9 of the 51 jurisdictions modelled levy no income tax on wages, and all of them are joint 1st of 51 on the ranking.
How much does a $100,000 salary leave in Alaska?
$79,180 a year after federal income tax, the state layer, Social Security and Medicare — an all-in deduction rate of 20.82%. The highest-taxing state, Oregon, would leave $70,988 on the same salary, and Alaska keeps $8,192 more than that.
What rate does Alaska charge on the next dollar earned?
Zero — Alaska takes nothing from the next dollar of wage income, so a pay rise here is taxed at the federal marginal rate only, the same as in any other no-income-tax jurisdiction.
