How this calculator works
Federal tax uses the 2026 IRS brackets and standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint / $24,150 head of household). FICA is 6.2% for Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare (with the 0.9% additional Medicare tax at higher incomes). Alaska tax is computed slice-by-slice through the state’s actual 2026 brackets after the state standard deduction, so your state effective rate is always lower than your top bracket.

Alaska take-home pay — questions
Does Alaska have a state income tax?
No — Alaska is one of nine states with no income tax on wages in 2026. Your take-home is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).
If Alaska has no income tax, how does the state raise money?
Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax. Residents instead receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend paid from oil revenues.
Does this calculator include Alaska city or county taxes?
No — this page covers federal tax, FICA. A few cities and counties levy their own income tax on top; those are not included, so your real take-home could be slightly lower if one applies to you.
Why is my actual paycheck different?
Your paycheck also subtracts pre-tax items this calculator doesn't model — 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, and HSA contributions. Treat this as an accurate baseline for comparing salaries and states.
