These are the rules for a new car bought from a dealer. Used-car and private-sale rules can differ. How we check this data.

Alaska doesn't charge a state sales tax when you buy a car. No state sales tax, but many cities and boroughs charge their own.

What to know in Alaska

Alaska has no statewide sales tax, so the state adds nothing to the price of a car. Local governments can still charge their own sales tax, and the rules vary by community: some charge none, others set their own rate, and some limit how much of a single purchase is taxed.

With no state tax to plan around, the loan itself is where you can save. Ask the dealer what local tax, if any, applies where you live, then compare a shorter term or a lower APR in the calculator to see how much interest you can cut.

Example: a car loan in Alaska

A $35,000 car with $5,000 down, $1,500 in fees, and a 60-month loan at 6.5% APR (no state sales tax):

Rebates and fees

The calculator charges tax on the price before any manufacturer rebate. Ask the dealer how Alaska treats your specific rebate. Title, registration and dealer documentation fees vary, so ask for an itemized out-the-door price and put the fee total in the calculator.
