Pennsylvania tax details
- Flat 3.07% on compensation; no standard deduction or personal exemptions.
- PA generally does not exclude employee 401(k)-type elective deferrals from compensation, so gross wages are a closer base than federal wages.
- Local taxes: Local earned income tax (EIT) on wages, set by municipality + school district; most commonly 1% combined (Act 511 cap, split 0.5/0.5), higher in home-rule/distressed cities. Philadelphia Wage Tax (residents): 3.74% from 7/1/2025, 3.735% from 7/1/2026 (non-residents 3.43% → 3.425%). Many places also levy a small flat Local Services Tax.
