How Pennsylvania withholding works

Pennsylvania withholds at a flat 3.07% of wages after any deductions below.
Most municipalities levy a separate local earned income tax that is not modelled here.

Paycheck calculators by state

These states are modelled from their own withholding publication.

Alaska California Florida Georgia Illinois Michigan North Carolina New Hampshire New Jersey Nevada New York Ohio South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington Wyoming All states

Federal withholding uses the IRS Publication 15-T (2026) percentage method, including the separate rate schedule for a checked W-4 Step 2 box. Nine states are modelled from their own withholding publication: California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Other taxing states are not modelled yet and ask you for a rate instead of guessing. Actual withholding also depends on your payroll setup and the exact certificates on file. This tool does not file or remit taxes.
