Sales tax in Alaska

Alaska's estimated combined state and average local sales tax rate is 1.76%. This figure combines the statewide rate with a typical local county or city add-on, so it represents a realistic estimate for a purchase in Alaska rather than one exact city's rate.

How this estimate works

We multiply your purchase amount by Alaska's estimated combined sales tax rate to get the sales tax amount, then add that to your original price to get the total price after tax. Because local county and city taxes can stack on top of the state rate and vary by jurisdiction, the actual rate you're charged at a specific store may differ slightly from this estimate.

This tool provides an estimate for planning purposes only and is not a substitute for checking the exact rate in your city or county. See our national sales tax calculator to compare other states.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the sales tax rate in Alaska?

Alaska's estimated combined state and average local sales tax rate is 1.76%, based on the statewide rate plus a typical local add-on.

Does Alaska have no sales tax?

Alaska charges no state-level sales tax, but unlike Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon, it permits local municipalities to levy their own local sales taxes, which is why the estimated rate above isn't zero.

Is the rate shown here exactly what I'll pay at checkout in Alaska?

Not necessarily. The figure above is an estimated combined state-plus-average-local rate, but actual sales tax in Alaska can vary by the specific city or county where you shop, since local jurisdictions often add their own tax on top of the state rate. Treat this as a solid planning estimate rather than an exact quote.

How do I calculate sales tax on a purchase in Alaska?

Multiply your purchase amount by Alaska's sales tax rate (1.76%) expressed as a decimal, then add that tax amount to your original price to get the total. Enter any purchase amount above and this calculator does that math for you instantly.

Are groceries and clothing taxed the same as other purchases in Alaska?

Not always. Many states, potentially including Alaska, exempt or reduce the tax rate on groceries, prescription medication, and sometimes clothing, while taxing general merchandise at the full rate. This calculator applies a general estimated rate and doesn't account for category-specific exemptions.

Does sales tax apply to online purchases shipped to Alaska?

In most cases, yes. Since a 2018 Supreme Court ruling, most online retailers are required to collect sales tax based on the buyer's location, so an online purchase shipped to Alaska is generally taxed similarly to an in-store purchase there.

Does Alaska charge sales tax on car purchases?

Many states apply standard sales tax to vehicle purchases, though some use separate vehicle excise taxes, different rate structures, or reduce the taxable amount for a trade-in. Check Alaska's specific vehicle tax rules with your local DMV before budgeting for a car purchase.

Is Alaska a high sales tax state?

At an estimated 1.76%, Alaska's combined sales tax rate is on the lower end compared to other US states.
