How This Calculator Works

On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Pennsylvania paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $89 to Pennsylvania income tax, leaving about $2,280 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.

That state withholding is 34th of 51, near the middle, $11 less than the typical state per paycheck ($293 over a year).

Among neighboring states, Ohio leaves the most: about $2,319 per paycheck on the same salary, $39 more than Pennsylvania. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.

Almost every municipality charges an earned income tax, typically around 1%, and Philadelphia’s wage tax is higher. Enter your local rate in the calculator if it applies to you.

A real Pennsylvania pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
