Alaska levies no individual state income tax and no statewide sales tax, funding government through oil revenue and even distributing an annual dividend to residents.
Alaska is one of only nine states that levies no individual income tax on wages. That means your Alaska paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) withholdings. Whether you earn $40,000 or $400,000, your state income tax liability is exactly $0.
Alaska has no state income tax or state sales tax, and even pays residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend. States without an income tax recover revenue through other channels, so it is worth factoring these into your overall cost of living.
Even with no state income tax, contributing to a Traditional 401(k) or HSA lowers your federal taxable income. Because Alaska conforms to federal rules, these contributions reduce the only income tax you pay as a resident, stretching every paycheck further.
Alaska is one of nine no-income-tax states. If you are comparing relocation options, see take-home pay in the other tax-free states: Texas, Florida, Washington, Tennessee, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Wyoming.
