Pennsylvania uses a flat-rate state income tax of 3.07% applied uniformly to all wage income above any state-specific deduction or exemption. Unlike progressive states, a single rate makes withholding straightforward: every additional dollar earned is taxed at the same marginal rate. Pennsylvania does not provide a separate state standard deduction — gross wages (after any specific adjustments) are taxed from the first dollar. Pennsylvania municipalities and school districts add local earned-income tax (commonly 1%–4%); Philadelphia wage tax is 3.75% for residents.
Take-home pay in Pennsylvania blends federal withholding, FICA (7.65% combined), and state income tax up to 3.07%. A single filer earning $75,000 keeps about $59,289.9 per year after estimated federal and state tax; at $150,000 take-home is approximately $109,185.86. Pennsylvania has reciprocal income tax agreements with Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia: a resident of those states working in PA pays tax only to their home state.
