Pennsylvania Paycheck Calculator
Estimate your Pennsylvania take-home pay including federal tax, PA's flat 3.07% state tax, your local Earned Income Tax (EIT), and FICA. Most calculators skip local EIT entirely — pick your municipality type below for a more accurate number. Also called a Pennsylvania salary or pay calculator. Unlike most states, your city matters here: Philadelphia (3.75%) and Pittsburgh (3.0%) each have their own preset rate below. Everywhere else in Pennsylvania — including Allentown, Erie, and Scranton — falls under "Suburban / Other," so enter your exact local rate if you know it for the most accurate number.

How this is calculated
// PA taxes gross compensation directly — no standard deduction.
// Unlike federal/most states, PA does NOT exclude 401(k) contributions from taxable pay.
PA Taxable Pay = Gross Pay − Health/HSA/FSA (401(k) stays in the base)
PA State Tax = PA Taxable Pay × 3.07%
Local EIT = PA Taxable Pay × your local rate
Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Withholding − PA State Tax − Local EIT − FICA − Pre-tax Deductions
// Unlike federal/most states, PA does NOT exclude 401(k) contributions from taxable pay.
PA Taxable Pay = Gross Pay − Health/HSA/FSA (401(k) stays in the base)
PA State Tax = PA Taxable Pay × 3.07%
Local EIT = PA Taxable Pay × your local rate
Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Withholding − PA State Tax − Local EIT − FICA − Pre-tax Deductions
