How Pennsylvania taxes income
Pennsylvania taxes income at a single flat rate of 3.07%, so your effective state rate does not change as you earn more.
Nearly every Pennsylvania municipality and school district levies a local earned income tax, commonly around 1%. This calculator does not include it.
What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which Pennsylvania allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
