Alaska Paycheck Calculator

How the Alaska estimate works

Enter gross pay for one pay period, federal W-4 adjustments, and the state details shown above. Federal withholding follows Publication 15-T and FICA applies to current and year-to-date wages. Alaska personal state income tax is zero. A separate 2026 employee unemployment insurance contribution applies at 0.50% of covered wages through the $54,200 same-employer wage base.

Example: A covered Alaska employee with $3,000 of current wages and no prior 2026 wages from the employer has $15.00 deducted for employee unemployment insurance. The state personal income-tax line remains $0.00. The calculator does not assume any unentered benefit deduction or invent a tax result.

Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly are the supported paycheck frequencies. “Annual salary” is an earnings input and the annual view is a simple period multiplication; neither is an annual payroll-period method. The special Form W-4 adjustment for nonresident aliens is not modeled.

Does Alaska have a state paycheck deduction? Alaska has no personal state income tax, but covered employees pay 0.50% for unemployment insurance in 2026 on the first $54,200 paid by each employer. The maximum employee contribution is $271 per employer.
