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.
In Pennsylvania, about $2,280 every two weeks (26 paychecks) or $2,470 twice a month (24 paychecks) for a single filer, before 401(k) and insurance deductions.
