How tax works in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania taxes wage income at a flat 3.07%, so your state marginal rate never changes no matter how much you earn. Combined with federal tax and FICA, a $100,000 salary nets $76,040 — an effective rate of 24.0%, 15th out of 51 jurisdictions.

Two things catch people out in Pennsylvania: cities and counties add their own tax on top — Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Local EIT (statewide average) and employees also pay Unemployment compensation. Both are included in the figures below — switch them on in the calculator to see the difference.

Pennsylvania allows no standard deduction and no personal exemption, but nearly every municipality adds a local earned income tax.
