Pennsylvania uses a flat income tax. One rate, 3.07%, applies to your taxable income after the state's own deductions and exemptions. It does not step up as you earn more, the way the federal brackets do. You still pay federal income tax and FICA on top, so your total tax is more than the state rate alone. Pennsylvania's flat 3.07% rate has no standard deduction or exemptions behind it, and it taxes 401(k) contributions when made. A small employee Unemployment Insurance contribution applies to all wages, and most areas add a local Earned Income Tax, with Philadelphia's wage tax much higher.
