Real tax rate
23.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17% tax rate now rises to 23.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $55,000 a year living in the region of Alaska, United States of America, you will be taxed $9,329. That means that your net pay will be $45,671 per year, or $3,806 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.0% and your marginal tax rate is 29.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
