Alaska Income Tax Calculator
Understanding Alaska Taxes (2024)
Alaska does not have a state income tax. This calculator helps you estimate your take-home pay by considering federal and FICA taxes only.
Alaska State Income Tax
Alaska does not levy a state income tax on individuals. Residents are only subject to federal and FICA taxes.
Local Taxes
Some Alaska municipalities may impose local sales taxes, but there are no local income taxes.
Federal Income Tax
Federal income tax is based on federal tax brackets, your filing status, deductions (standard or itemized), and allowances claimed on your W-4. Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) or HSA contributions reduce your federal taxable income.
FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare)
FICA taxes fund Social Security and Medicare. These are typically withheld by employers.
- Social Security: 6.2% on income up to the annual limit ($168,600 for 2024).
- Medicare: 1.45% on all income. An additional 0.9% Medicare tax applies to income above certain thresholds ($200,000 for Single, $250,000 for MFJ).
