Questions
How much is $20 an hour after taxes in Alaska?
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour ($41,600 a year), you take home about $681 a week, or $1,361 every two weeks, after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
Does Alaska have a state income tax?
No. Alaska doesn't tax wages, so your paycheck only loses federal income tax and FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%).
How is overtime calculated?
Hours over 40 in a week are paid at one and a half times your hourly rate for non-exempt workers under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Enter those hours in the overtime box; some states also require daily overtime, which isn't modelled here.
Why might my real paycheck differ?
This spreads the year's tax evenly across paychecks for a single filer taking the standard deduction. Your employer's withholding uses your W-4 and IRS tables, and 401(k), health insurance or other pre-tax deductions lower both your taxable pay and your take-home.
Alaska levies no state income tax, but it is one of only three states (with New Jersey and Pennsylvania) that requires employees to contribute toward unemployment insurance — 0.5% of wages up to a $54,200 cap, included here.
