Alaska Paycheck Calculator

Estimate your 2026 take-home pay after federal tax, FICA

Estimate only — not tax advice. Single-filer assumption, based on standard federal/state calculations. See methodology below for source and last-verified date. For your exact withholding, consult a tax professional or your payroll department.

How to Calculate Your Alaska Take-Home Pay

  1. Start with your gross annual salary.
  2. Subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction ($16,100 single) to get taxable income, then apply the 2026 federal brackets (10%-37%).
  3. Subtract FICA: 6.2% Social Security (up to the $184,500 wage base) + 1.45% Medicare (all wages, +0.9% above $200,000).
  4. Alaska charges no state income tax — your paycheck stops there. What's left is your net take-home pay.

Example: $65,000/year gross salary, single filer, Alaska resident.

  1. Federal tax: $5,620
  2. FICA: $4,972.5
  3. Alaska state tax: No state income tax.
  4. Net annual pay: $65,000 - $10,592.5 = $54,407.5 (≈$4,533.96/month)
