Take-Home Pay in Pennsylvania (2026)

Pennsylvania taxes 2026 income at a flat 3.07% with no standard deduction and no personal exemptions — one of the simplest state returns in the country. The catch is local tax: almost every PA municipality and school district levies its own earned income tax, typically around 1%, which this estimate does not include.

State tax note: Flat 3.07% on taxable income — no deductions or exemptions. Most PA municipalities and school districts add a local earned income tax (~1%) that is not modeled.
