Pennsylvania Tax Calculator
Pennsylvania applies one of the lowest flat rates of any state that taxes income at all, applied evenly to all taxable income. Pennsylvania excludes retirement income entirely — Social Security, pensions, and 401(k)/IRA withdrawals are all untaxed. Many municipalities and school districts separately levy their own local earned-income tax. This calculator applies the statewide flat rate to your entered income.
