How the Pennsylvania salary calculator works
This Pennsylvania paycheck calculator starts from your gross pay, subtracts pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) and HSA contributions, then applies the 2025 federal standard deduction and marginal brackets. Social Security is withheld at 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000). Finally, Pennsylvania state income tax is applied to your state taxable income.
Pennsylvania state income tax
Pennsylvania taxes all compensation at a flat 3.07% with no standard deduction; local earned income tax also applies.
Because the rate is flat at 3.07%, every additional dollar you earn in Pennsylvania is taxed at the same state rate — only your federal bracket changes as income rises.
