Open Overtime Tax Calculator →Overtime pay in Alaska is taxed only at the federal level and for FICA, since the state charges no income tax. This makes overtime especially lucrative here: every extra hour you work avoids the state tax layer that workers in other states face. Federal withholding on overtime can still feel steep because employers often use the supplemental flat rate of 22%, but your actual effective rate on overtime income may be lower. Use the overtime calculator to compare your regular and overtime net pay in Alaska.
Alaska is one of nine states with no personal income tax. Residents keep every dollar of earnings from state-level taxation, though the state generates revenue through other means such as sales taxes, property taxes, and in some cases severance taxes on natural resources. The zero-income-tax policy makes Alaska particularly attractive for high earners, remote workers, and retirees seeking to maximize their after-tax income.
The table below shows what you actually keep at five salary levels in Alaska, accounting for federal tax, FICA, and zero state income tax.
