Alaska paycheck calculator, 2026
Alaska levies no state personal income tax, so nothing is withheld for the state from an Alaska paycheck. What is deducted is federal income tax plus Social Security and Medicare, which means take-home here is usually higher than the same salary in a state with an income tax — the difference is roughly what that state would have taken. Alaska has no local wage taxes either, so the federal line is the whole story.
What comes out of a Alaska paycheck
Alaska levies no state personal income tax, so the state line on a Alaska pay stub is zero. What is withheld is federal income tax, Social Security at 6.2% up to the annual wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% with no cap.
| Deduction | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Social Security | 6.2% | Wages up to the annual wage base |
| Medicare | 1.45% | All wages, no cap |
| Additional Medicare | 0.9% | Wages above $200,000 |
| Federal income tax | Graduated | Per IRS Publication 15-T |
