How the Pennsylvania paycheck calculator works
This calculator estimates your take-home pay by applying four layers of US payroll taxes to your gross annual salary: federal income tax, Pennsylvania state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax above the IRS threshold.
Federal income tax
Federal tax uses progressive brackets ranging from 10% to 37%. Each dollar is taxed only at the rate of the bracket it falls into — this is called your marginal rate, not your effective rate. The calculator applies the 2025 IRS brackets (Rev. Proc. 2024-40) and the $15,000 standard deduction for single filers.
Pennsylvania state income tax
Pennsylvania uses progressive state tax brackets sourced from Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (revenue.pa.gov), 2025 tax year. The state standard deduction is automatically applied based on your filing status. Pennsylvania taxes income at a flat 3.07% with no standard deduction, from the first dollar. Unlike federal tax, PA taxes 401(k) contributions, so pre-tax deferrals do not reduce PA tax here. Most municipalities also levy a local Earned Income Tax (about 1%) that this estimate does not include.
FICA (Social Security + Medicare)
FICA taxes are flat: 6.2% Social Security on wages up to the 2025 cap of $176,100, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages. Single filers earning over $200,000 pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on income above that threshold.
