Alaska take-home pay calculator

This is the figure before tax, not the amount that lands in your account

Your pay stub calls it gross pay. It is what you are paid before federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of it. Alaska charges no tax on wages, but unemployment insurance still come out.

Your usual week, not a busy one

Use the hours you work most weeks. Overtime belongs in the overtime calculator instead.

How often are you paid?

It changes the size of each check, not the tax you owe for the year

It only decides how the year is cut up, so the figure you see is the one you would actually receive.

How do you do your taxes?

It moves the income bands, so it changes the tax on the same pay

Tax forms call this your filing status. This estimate assumes one income; if your husband or wife also earns, the real figure is higher than this.

Do customers tip you?

Cash and card tips together, for the whole year.

An hourly rate times your hours never includes tips

If you worked out your pay as a rate times the hours you work, that figure is your wages and nothing else, so your tips are on top of it. A yearly salary from an employer who reports your tips usually already has them in it, and your last payslip is the place to check: if the gross on it is bigger than your rate times your hours, the difference is your reported tips.

Do you get paid extra for working extra hours?

This starts at one and a half times your normal rate, the usual overtime rate. Change it if yours is different, and it stops following.

Do you get a bonus or commission?

Do you, or your husband or wife, turn 65 at any point this year?

Do you put part of your pay into a retirement plan at work?

Look on your pay stub for a line like 401(k), 403(b), 457, TSP, retirement or pension.

Does money come out of your pay for health insurance or a health account?

Look on your pay stub for lines like medical, dental, vision, HSA or FSA.

Do you claim any children or other dependents?

That is $0 of dependent credit for the year. A W-4 counts $2,000 for each child under 17 and $500 for each other dependent.

Did you ask your employer to take extra tax out of each paycheck?

Look on your pay stub for a line like additional or extra withholding. On the W-4 you handed in, it is the box on line 4(c).

If your W-4 shows a per-paycheck amount, multiply it by the number of paychecks you get in a year.

Is anything else taken out of your pay after tax?

Look near the bottom of your pay stub for lines like union dues, life insurance, a repayment or a garnishment.

Which 2026 rules apply to your Alaska paycheck?

Tick the boxes that describe your pay. The Alaska pointers then show only those.

Tick anything that is true for you.

Tips: federally deductible, and Alaska runs on oil revenues and the Permanent Fund rather than a wage tax, so nothing more is claimed at state level. Work out the tip deduction

Overtime: federally deductible, and Alaska has no wage tax to tax overtime premium pay anyway. Work out the overtime deduction

Bonuses: Alaska sets no income tax on wages, so its unemployment insurance contributions are the only Alaska deduction a bonus could carry. Estimate the tax on a bonus in Alaska

Turning 65: the $6,000 federal senior deduction is the only one to claim, because Alaska taxes no wages, and it does not reduce Alaska's unemployment insurance contributions either. Check the senior deduction

Use this free Alaska (AK) paycheck and payroll calculator to estimate your 2026 take-home pay. Alaska runs on oil revenues and the Permanent Fund, not a wage tax, so what comes out is federal tax, FICA and Alaska's unemployment insurance contributions.

No state income tax in Alaska — so what still shrinks your 2026 paycheck?

Because Alaska levies no state income tax, nothing on your 2026 check goes to a state income tax line. Your pay is still reduced by federal withholding, FICA, and the unemployment insurance contributions Alaska takes from employee wages, and all of those are in the estimate above. Alaska levies neither a state income tax nor a statewide sales tax, and it pays eligible residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend from oil revenues.

What this estimate doesn't include: City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those. No state income tax does not mean no state payroll deductions. Alaska withholds unemployment insurance contributions from wages, and the take-home figure above already subtracts those, so your stub is the check on anything else your employer takes out.

Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.

State Unemployment Insurance: what else Alaska takes from your check

Alaska runs employee-funded payroll programs that come off your check on top of income tax and FICA:

ProgramEmployee rate (2026)Wage base / cap
State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) — employee share0.50%$54,200 taxable wage base (2026); max employee contribution ~$271/yr

Included in your take-home: the AK SUI (employee) contribution is subtracted from the take-home estimate at the top of this page. These are withheld after tax and do not lower your taxable income.

Your paycheck vs the $95,665 Alaska median

Median household income (2024)$95,665
Take-home (single filer)≈$75,859

No city or county income tax anywhere in Alaska

Alaska has no state individual income tax, and no Alaska city or borough levies a local income tax. Some cities and boroughs do levy local sales taxes.

Alaska's own $14.00 minimum wage — above the federal floor (2026)

$14.00/hour (≈$29,120/year full-time). $13.00/hr through June 30, 2026, rising to $14.00/hr on July 1, 2026 under Ballot Measure 1 (2024). Increases again to $15.00 on July 1, 2027. No tip credit allowed.

Is overtime and tips tax-free in Alaska? Federally yes — no Alaska wage tax anyway

For tax years 2025 to 2028 there is a federal deduction for qualified overtime premium pay and tips (OBBBA caps & rules). FICA comes out either way.

Two Alaska payroll quirks worth knowing

  • Alaska is one of only three states (with New Jersey and Pennsylvania) where employees pay into state unemployment insurance: 0.50% withheld from wages up to a $54,200 wage base in 2026 (max ~$271/yr) — a true paycheck deduction in an otherwise no-income-tax, no-state-sales-tax state.
  • Alaska pays eligible residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend: the 2026 PFD is $1,200, which includes a $200 energy relief payment. The PFD is taxable for FEDERAL income tax (reported on Form 1099-MISC) even though Alaska has no state income tax.

Alaska has no statewide sales tax
