Pennsylvania income tax rate (2026)
Pennsylvania charges a flat 3.07% on wage income — the same rate whether you earn $30,000 or $300,000. There is no state standard deduction, so the rate effectively applies from the first dollar of wages. Flat-rate states are easy to estimate: multiply taxable wages by the rate and you are within a few dollars of the real figure.

About Pennsylvania paychecks & taxes
Pennsylvania has one of the lowest flat income tax rates in the nation at 3.07%, and it applies to gross compensation with essentially no standard deduction. That low rate keeps state income tax modest for most workers.
The catch is local: many Pennsylvania municipalities levy a local Earned Income Tax (often around 1%), and Philadelphia's wage tax is much higher — around 3.75% for residents. This calculator covers the state rate but not local wage taxes, so city residents keep less than shown.
