Estimate your Pennsylvania paycheck after federal & state taxes (PA)
* Estimate using 2024 federal brackets and Pennsylvania state tax data. Does not include local taxes.
Pennsylvania has a flat income tax rate of 3.07%, one of the lowest flat rates in the country. Pennsylvania does not tax retirement income including Social Security, pensions, and 401(k)/IRA distributions, making it very favorable for retirees. However, many Pennsylvania municipalities levy local earned income taxes (typically 1%–3.5%), with Philadelphia having the highest at 3.75% for residents.
