# Pennsylvania Paycheck Calculator

Pennsylvania taxes compensation at a flat 3.07%, with no standard deduction or personal exemption; local earned income taxes come on top.

Flat 3.07%

Pennsylvania charges a flat 3.07% on taxable compensation for every filing status, with no standard deduction and no personal exemption. Pennsylvania doesn't start from federal income: your 401(k) contributions are still taxed, while health premiums paid through a Section 125 cafeteria plan aren't. Local earned income taxes, including Philadelphia's wage tax, and the Local Services Tax come on top of the state rate; this calculator doesn't include them.

Flat rate: 3.07% · No standard deduction or personal exemption · 401(k) contributions are taxed by Pennsylvania · Local earned income taxes not included

## Pennsylvania Paycheck FAQ

Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Pennsylvania

### What is the Pennsylvania state income tax rate?

A flat 3.07% for every filing status, with no standard deduction and no personal exemption. The Department of Revenue's 2026 estimated-tax instructions apply the same 3.07% to 2026 income.

### Are 401(k) contributions taxed in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Pennsylvania counts your contributions to an employer retirement plan such as a 401(k) as taxable compensation, even though they lower your federal taxable wages. Health insurance premiums paid through a Section 125 cafeteria plan are not taxed. The calculator taxes gross wages, which matches the 401(k) rule but not the cafeteria-plan exclusion.

### Does Pennsylvania have local income taxes?

Yes. Pennsylvania has local earned income taxes, Philadelphia's wage tax and the Local Services Tax, all on top of the 3.07% state rate. Rates depend on where you live and work, and this calculator doesn't include them.

### How much Pennsylvania tax is withheld from a bonus?

Pennsylvania has no separate bonus rate. Your employer adds the bonus to your pay for the period and withholds the flat 3.07% on the total, which comes to 3.07% of the bonus.

### What does this calculator leave out for Pennsylvania?

The exclusion for health premiums paid through a cafeteria plan, the deductions for unreimbursed business expenses and for HSA, MSA and 529 contributions, Tax Forgiveness for lower-income families, and local taxes.
