Alaska: no state wage income tax
Alaska does not withhold state income tax on wages or RSU vests in this model.
The stub still shows federal supplemental withholding (22% on amounts ≤ $1M) plus FICA.
Net on the vignette is about $36,136.
How Alaska payroll usually handles RSU vests
Alaska does not add state income tax withholding on wages; the stub still shows federal supplemental and FICA.
If the RSU vest is combined with regular wages, withholding may follow the aggregate method instead of these flat percentages (IRS Pub. 15 §7).
Employees should reconcile annual liability on Form 1040 — paycheck withholding is only an estimate.
How withholding scales with RSU size
State tax stays $0 at every RSU size in this model; federal and FICA still grow with the RSU vest.
Above $1M supplemental wages in a year with one employer, federal withholding jumps to 37% on the excess (Pub. 15).
What this profile does not include
Local city or municipal wage taxes (for example NYC resident tax, Philadelphia wage tax, Ohio city income tax) are not in these figures.
California SDI, state disability, paid family leave premiums, and local school taxes are outside the supplemental income-tax line.
Confirm current employer guides linked in the sources section before relying on a stub estimate.

Alaska RSU tax FAQs
Alaska does not withhold state income tax on wages or RSU vests in this model ($0 state supplemental).
On the vignette ($50,000 vest, $150,000 other income): about $13,864 total withheld ($11,000 federal + $2,864 FICA + $0 state), leaving ~$36,136 after-tax share value (~72.27 net shares after sell-to-cover).
Supplemental flat rates are a payroll shortcut when RSU income is withheld separately. Employers may instead use the aggregate method (combine with regular wages). Confirm with payroll and your state withholding tables.
Usually no under the flat supplemental method — both are supplemental wages. Timing and whether pay is combined with regular wages can change the stub via the aggregate method.
State income tax withheld may be itemized on Schedule A subject to the federal SALT cap. Whether you benefit depends on your full return.
About $11,000 (22% flat), the same as in every other state on this vignette — plus about $2,864 FICA.
