What else is taken out of a Alaska paycheck?+

AK unemployment (UI) (0.5% up to $54,200 — AK DOLWD). The calculator includes these; untick “Include state disability / paid-leave contributions” to leave them out.

Is this the same as my employer's payroll calculation?+

It uses the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method that payroll software uses for federal withholding, and Alaska's 2026 tax rules (checked 2026-10-07). Your employer may round each step or use the state's own withholding tables, so expect small differences.

Is anything I enter saved or sent?+
