What this profile does not include
Local city or municipal wage taxes (for example NYC resident tax, Philadelphia wage tax, Ohio city income tax) are not in these figures.
California SDI, state disability, paid family leave premiums, and local school taxes are outside the supplemental income-tax line.

Not necessarily. Flat 22% federal supplemental withholding (and 37% on supplemental wages over $1 million per employer per year) is a paycheck rule under IRS Publication 15. Your true federal tax depends on total annual income, deductions, and credits when you file Form 1040 — you may owe more or get a refund. Alaska adds $0 state income tax, so the main filing risk is federal under- or over-withholding.
Supplemental flat rates are a payroll shortcut when bonuses are paid separately. Employers may instead use the aggregate method (combine with regular wages). Confirm with payroll and your state withholding tables.
Usually yes under the flat supplemental method — signing, retention, and annual bonuses are all supplemental wages. Timing and whether payroll combines the payment with regular wages (aggregate method) can change the paycheck stub.
About $2,200 (22% flat) on this vignette — the same federal amount as in every other state — plus about $765 FICA (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare, subject to wage-base and Additional Medicare rules). The gap vs other states is almost entirely state supplemental withholding.
Social Security tax (6.2%) only applies until wages reach $184,500 in 2026. If year-to-date earnings plus the bonus cross that wage base, SS withholding on the bonus can be partial or zero. Medicare (1.45%) still applies with no wage base; an extra 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax can apply once wages exceed $200,000 for single filers (withholding threshold). Use /bonus-tax-calculator/alaska and the YTD field to model your situation.
Alaska has $0 state supplemental withholding and ranks near the bottom (#43) — tied with other no–wage-income-tax jurisdictions on state tax (federal and FICA still apply).
Alaska and Texas both withhold $0 state income tax on this vignette, so net take-home matches at about $7,035 (federal 22% + FICA only).
It depends on your marginal federal bracket and full-year return. If your federal bracket is below 22%, flat supplemental withholding often over-withholds and you may get a refund. If your bracket is above 22%, you may owe more at filing.
This estimate covers Alaska state supplemental withholding (or $0 if none) plus federal and FICA. Local city wage taxes are not included unless your employer withholds them separately.
A gross-up means the employer increases the gross bonus so that after withholding you still receive a target net amount. Because Alaska adds $0 state income tax, the gross needed to deliver a given net is similar to other no–wage-income-tax states. Ask HR whether an offer is net or gross before you accept.
Under IRS Publication 15, supplemental wages over $1 million from the same employer in the same calendar year are withheld at 37% (mandatory flat rate) on the excess, while the first $1 million can use the 22% flat method. The $1 million threshold is per employer, per year — not combined across employers. Alaska state rules still apply on top.
Usually no under the flat supplemental method — both are supplemental wages. Timing and whether pay is combined with regular wages can change the stub via the aggregate method.
State income tax withheld may be itemized on Schedule A subject to the federal SALT cap. Whether you benefit depends on your full return.
About $2,200 (22% flat), the same as in every other state on this vignette — plus about $765 FICA.
