Alaska’s minimum wage is in the middle of a voter-approved climb. Ballot Measure 1 of 2024 raised it to $13.00 in July 2025 and $14.00 on 1 July 2026, and sets $15.00 for 1 July 2027, after which it follows Anchorage inflation. Alaska allows no tip credit, so tipped workers earn the full rate. The same measure added paid sick leave: 1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours a year at employers with 15 or more employees and 40 hours at smaller ones.
Alaska is one of the few states with daily overtime. Work beyond 8 hours in a day earns time and a half even if the week stays under 40, and hours already paid as daily overtime do not count again toward the weekly limit. The rule does not apply at employers with fewer than four employees.
There is no state income tax on wages, but Alaska employees do pay into unemployment insurance: 0.50% of wages up to the 2026 wage base of $54,200.
Worked paycheck for full time at the Alaska minimum wage
At $14.00 an hour a full-time year is $29,120. Paid semi-monthly, each check covers about 86.67 hours.
| Gross pay, semimonthly ($14.00 × 86.67 hours) | $1,213.33 |
| Federal income tax (2026 brackets, standard deduction) | −$54.77 |
| Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) | −$92.82 |
| Alaska income tax, calculator estimate | −$0.00 |
| Take-home per paycheck | $1,065.75 |
| Take-home per year ($29,120 gross) | $25,578 |
Alaska withholds no income tax, so the calculator’s figures are complete except for unemployment insurance: 0.50% of $29,120 is $145.60 a year, $6.07 a check. A worker on 10-hour days would also be owed 2 hours of overtime pay each day under the daily rule.
