Pennsylvania income tax, explained
Pennsylvania has a flat income tax of 3.07%, one of the lowest flat rates in the country, and it has been unchanged for years. Unlike most states, Pennsylvania has no standard deduction and no personal exemption — the 3.07% applies from the first dollar of taxable compensation.
Many Pennsylvania municipalities and school districts charge a separate local Earned Income Tax (commonly around 1%), and Philadelphia has a Wage Tax of about 3.74% for residents. This estimate covers the 3.07% state rate only; local wage taxes can be significant.
