How this is calculated
Pennsylvania taxes wage income at a flat rate published by the Department of Revenue. This page applies that estimate-level rate with 2026 federal brackets and FICA.
If you work in Philadelphia, city wage tax is handled on the dedicated Philadelphia paycheck page with official city rates. Most other PA municipalities also add a local earned income tax that this statewide page does not model.
Use this page for planning outside city-specific payroll taxes, not for reconciling an employer's exact PA withholding worksheet.
Official references are listed on our data sources & methodology page. Compare with the general paycheck calculator to switch states quickly.
Net pay = gross pay - federal estimate - Pennsylvania state estimate - FICA - pre-tax deductions (local taxes excluded)
