The Formula Explained

State Tax T_s = I_t \times r_s, \quad \text{where } r_s = 0 \text{ for Alaska}
Local Tax T_\ell = I_t \times r_\ell, \quad \text{where } r_\ell = 0 \text{ (no local income tax)}
Total State+Local = T_s + T_\ell = 0
Effective State Rate e_s = \begin{cases} \dfrac{T_s}{I_t}\times 100\%, & I_t > 0 \\ 0\%, & I_t = 0 \end{cases}
Net After State Tax = I_t - T_s = I_t
PFD State Tax = \text{PFD} \times r_s = 0

Because Alaska’s individual income tax rate is zero and there are no local wage taxes, all resulting state and local income tax calculations evaluate to zero for any filing status and any income level.

Glossary of Variables

  • Tax Year: Filing year context; Alaska’s state rate remains 0%.
  • Annual Taxable Income (I_t): Your estimated taxable income for state purposes.
  • Filing Status: Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, Head of Household. Does not affect Alaska state tax (rate is 0%).
  • Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD): Annual dividend to eligible residents; taxable federally, not taxed by Alaska.
  • Alaska State Income Tax (T_s): State tax owed; always $0.
  • Local Income Tax (T_ℓ): City/county income tax; Alaska imposes none, so $0.
  • Total State + Local: Sum of state and local income taxes; $0.
  • Effective State Tax Rate (e_s): T_s ÷ I_t; equals 0% when income is greater than zero.
  • Net After State Tax: I_t − T_s; equals I_t in Alaska.
  • PFD State Tax: State tax on the PFD; always $0.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

Scenario: Tax Year 2025, Single filer, Annual Taxable Income = $100,000, PFD = $1,300.

  1. Compute state tax: T_s = 100{,}000 \times 0 = 0.
  2. Compute local tax: T_\ell = 100{,}000 \times 0 = 0.
  3. Total state + local: 0 + 0 = 0.
  4. Effective state rate: e_s = (0 / 100{,}000)\times 100\% = 0\%.
  5. Net after state tax: 100{,}000 - 0 = 100{,}000.
  6. PFD state tax: 1{,}300 \times 0 = 0.

Conclusion: In Alaska, your state and local income tax obligation is always $0; planning can focus on federal income and payroll taxes.
