What is different about Alaska

Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax. The Permanent Fund Dividend is a separate payment. It is not wages, it is not in this calculator, and it can be taxable on a federal return. Do not add the dividend to the wage box and expect a payroll result. A W-2 job in Anchorage is federal tax plus FICA only.

A single filer on $90,000

Net is about $72,145 before health insurance, HSA, or any other deduction. The form above starts on this wage so you can change filing status without redoing the arithmetic.

The nine states with no wage tax are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. They are not the same place. They are the same payroll math. The comparison page lists them together.

Social Security is $5,580 and Medicare is $1,305. The state line is $0. Federal tax and FICA are the whole withholding story on this page. A rough net is $72,145 before health premiums.

Use the main calculator when the wage is not the one printed here

This page fixes the state setting so the common mistake, typing a guessed rate, is harder. The brackets, the wage base, and the 401(k) treatment are the same engine as the US paycheck calculator. Change filing status on the form rather than multiplying the single result by two. Married filing jointly has its own standard deduction and its own brackets. A second job is not modeled. Local tax is not modeled except where the paragraph above tells you to add a county or city rate yourself.
