Estimate your paycheck after taxes, build a monthly budget, and see how much house you can afford — all in one place.
Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare on your gross pay.
Estimates use 2026 federal brackets, the 2026 standard deduction, and FICA rates (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base, 1.45% Medicare, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax above $200,000). Retirement contributions reduce income tax but not Social Security and Medicare; health and FSA contributions reduce both. State income tax is a simplified 2026 estimate using each state's standard deduction and rates; local taxes, credits, and exemptions aren't included.
Allocate your monthly take-home across expenses, savings, and everything left over.
See how much house you can afford and what the monthly payment looks like.
Affordability caps total monthly housing plus debts at your chosen ratio. This uses your net take-home income carried from the paycheck tab, so the estimate is more conservative than a lender's, since lenders typically apply DTI to gross income. The interest rate is pre-filled with the latest Freddie Mac national average for 30- and 15-year fixed loans; the 20-year and ARM defaults are estimates, since Freddie Mac no longer surveys those loan types. Adjust the rate to a quote you have received. Choosing an adjustable rate lets you set the initial rate and an estimated adjusted rate after the fixed period.
Alaska does not tax wage income. No state income tax is withheld from a Alaska paycheck, so the only deductions from gross pay are federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and whatever you elect yourself — a 401(k) contribution, health premiums and the like.
That makes a Alaska paycheck both simpler to predict and larger at the same salary than one in most states. Set the state to Alaska in the calculator above and the state line reads zero.
It does not — not on wages. Alaska is one of nine states with no tax on earned income. The others are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
Two of the nine carry an asterisk worth knowing. Washington taxes certain capital gains, and New Hampshire taxed interest and dividends until that tax was phased out. Neither touches ordinary wages, and neither changes what your employer withholds.
No income tax does not mean no state revenue. States without a wage tax generally lean harder on sales tax, property tax or industry-specific revenue, so a full cost-of-living comparison runs wider than the withholding line on a pay stub.
Alaska levies no state income tax, so the state column is zero at every salary. The columns beside it show what the same single filer would owe in state income tax nearby in 2026 — the amount that stays in a Alaska paycheck.

|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $0 | $2,959 |
| $50,000 | $0 | $3,834 |

State income tax only. Federal income tax and FICA apply in every state and are not shown here — the calculator above includes them.

Federal income tax, Social Security at 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% with no cap — plus anything you elect, such as a 401(k) contribution or health premiums. No state income tax.
