Health premiums, HSA, medical FSA per paycheck

Qualifying medical benefits reduce federal, FICA and Alaska UI wages. Enter dependent-care benefits separately below.

Dependent-care benefits per paycheck

Enter the federally qualifying Section 125 salary reduction only. It reduces federal/FICA wages but remains in Alaska UI wages. Eligibility and annual benefit limits are not calculated.

Roth retirement deduction per paycheck

Your employee contribution to an employer-established Roth plan, not an employer match or a personal Roth IRA. This reduces Alaska UI wages but remains subject to federal income tax and FICA. Do not repeat this deduction in the other after-tax field.

After-tax deductions per paycheck

Union dues, garnishments and other after-tax deductions. Enter your Roth payroll deduction in its separate field above.

Blank adjustments count as 0 unless another default is stated. Pay, hours and an active custom rate need a value; enter 0 when appropriate.

Estimated take-home pay per week$744.60$38,719.36 per year · $3,226.61 per month

No state wage income tax. Alaska has no state income tax on wages. Federal withholding, any state payroll programs listed here, and your benefit deductions still affect take-home pay.

Annual and monthly figures assume the entered pay repeats for a full year. Wage caps are averaged across those paychecks; year-to-date pay and deductions are not tracked.

Estimated tax share is the displayed federal withholding, FICA, state/local tax estimate and state payroll deductions divided by gross pay. Benefit deductions are excluded from that share; it is not your final income-tax rate.

Alaska UI is 0.50% of reportable wages up to $54,200 in 2026. Qualifying retirement and medical benefits reduce those wages; dependent-care benefits do not. Assumes covered employment and steady pay for a full year, without year-to-date tracking.

Federal withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T for a 2020-or-later W-4. Social Security applies to the first $184,500 of wages in 2026.

From a timecard to a Alaska paycheck estimate

Use paid hours after unpaid breaks. Enter regular hours separately from overtime; putting all 45 hours in the regular field and another 5 in overtime would count those 5 hours twice.

Weekly gross = hourly rate × (regular hours + 1.5 × overtime hours)

For example, $20 × (40 + 1.5 × 5) gives $950 gross for a 45-hour week. The calculator repeats that week over 52 weeks and divides the annual amount by your selected pay frequency. Every two weeks uses 26 paychecks; twice a month uses 24, so it is an average rather than the actual hours in a particular half-month.

The Department of Labor's overtime guidance covers regular-rate and eligibility rules. This tool assumes the rate you enter is the applicable regular rate and the overtime hours you enter are paid at time-and-a-half. Daily overtime, double time, tipped pay and multiple hourly rates need separate treatment.

Weekly take-home pay for a single filer working 40 hours with a standard W-4 and no pre-tax deductions.

What 5 or 10 overtime hours add at $20 an hour

Each row assumes 40 regular hours plus the stated overtime every week for a full year, a single filer, standard W-4, no benefit deductions and the same Alaska settings as the hourly table above. These figures are generated by this calculator; they do not predict a one-off overtime check.

Repeated-week overtime comparison in Alaska, 2026
Overtime hours	Gross per week	Estimated take-home	Extra take-home
0	$800.00	$680.72	$0.00
5	$950.00	$800.50	$119.78
10	$1,100.00	$920.56	$239.84

A qualifying federal overtime deduction is separate from the amount of overtime pay. The calculator does not decide eligibility or subtract it automatically. The IRS explains how an updated W-4 can reflect the expected deduction; Social Security and Medicare generally still apply. The examples use a W-4 with no adjustments.

The Alaska calculation used for these wages

Alaska has no state income tax on wages. Federal withholding, any state payroll programs listed here, and your benefit deductions still affect take-home pay.

Beyond income tax, Alaska employees pay into state programs that appear as separate lines on a pay stub: Alaska UI (employee contribution) at 0.5% of wages up to $54,200. These are included in the estimate.

Limits of this state estimate. Alaska has no state income tax, but covered employees pay 0.50% UI on reportable wages up to $54,200 in 2026. Employer-plan retirement contributions and qualifying medical/HSA/FSA benefits reduce UI wages. Dependent-care benefits remain UI wages; use the separate field. Your Roth payroll deduction belongs in its own field and must not be counted again under other after-tax deductions. The estimate assumes covered employment and steady full-year pay. Year-to-date contributions, multiple employers and coverage exemptions are not determined here. Personal IRA contributions and other unlisted benefit exclusions are not modeled.

Frequently asked questions

How is hourly take-home pay calculated in Alaska?

Gross pay is your hourly rate × hours, with overtime hours at 1.5× your rate. The calculator annualises that amount, works out federal withholding under IRS Publication 15-T, applies Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) and the state payroll programs listed on this page, and shows the result for your pay period.

What is $20 an hour after taxes in Alaska?

At 40 hours a week, $20 an hour is $800.00 gross per week. For a single filer with a standard W-4 in 2026, take-home pay is about $680.72 a week, or $35,398 a year (an estimated tax share of gross pay of 14.9%).

How is overtime taxed in Alaska?

The calculator includes overtime in regular gross wages and applies your entered W-4. Higher gross pay can increase withholding. This is a repeated-week projection, not a calculation of your final tax or refund. It does not determine a qualified overtime deduction; use the current IRS W-4 instructions to account for an eligible deduction.

Does Alaska have state income tax on hourly wages?

No. Alaska has no state income tax on wages. Federal withholding and FICA, plus the state programs listed here, can still apply, and your employee benefit deductions also reduce take-home pay.

How many hours count as full time for this calculator?

There is no full-time eligibility test here. Enter regular paid hours excluding overtime, then enter time-and-a-half hours separately. The calculator does not classify your job, check daily overtime rules or determine the regular rate when bonuses, shift differentials or multiple pay rates apply.
