Take-home in Alaska against the biggest states
Alaska shares no land border, so there is no commuter comparison to make. But the move-to-and-from comparison still holds. On $75,000, Alaska charges nothing against $0 in Texas and $3,957 in New York.
| State | State tax on $75,000 | vs Alaska |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | No income tax | same |
| Florida | No income tax | same |
| California | $3,230 | +$3,230 |
| New York | $3,957 | +$3,957 |
- Texas works out the same as Alaska on this income.
- Florida works out the same as Alaska on this income.
- California would take $3,230 more, $3,230 against Alaska's $0.
- New York would take $3,957 more, $3,957 against Alaska's $0.
If you live on one side of the Alaska state line and work on the other, which state taxes your wages depends on whether the two have a reciprocity agreement.
What this estimate assumes

- No pre-tax deductions, a 401(k), HSA or health premium taken from gross pay would lower every tax line.
- Employee-side FICA only (7.65%). Your employer pays a matching share you never see.
- No local or municipal income tax, and no state disability withholding beyond what is described above.
- No credits, and no state-specific credits.
