How each Pennsylvania line is calculated

Pennsylvania paystubs in this app automatically show PA State Income Tax and Philadelphia Wage Tax using the stored resident and nonresident city rates. Other Pennsylvania local earned income tax and local services tax amounts can be represented with the user-supplied local-tax inputs in the form.

Line Who pays Rate Wage base
PA Local Earned Income Tax
Flat percentage of gross wages using the locality or PSD rate supplied by the user when a non-Philadelphia Pennsylvania local EIT applies.
 Employee Bracket or formula based No cap
PA Local Services Tax
Flat per-pay-period Local Services Tax amount supplied by the user when the employer must withhold a Pennsylvania LST.
 Employee User supplied No cap
PA State Income Tax
Flat 3.07% Pennsylvania state withholding from the current state-tax model.
 Employee 3.07% No cap
PA UC Contribution
Pennsylvania unemployment compensation is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned Pennsylvania UC rate and current taxable wage base, so the calculator should capture those employer-specific values for an exact amount.
 Employer User supplied No cap
PA UC Contribution
Pennsylvania unemployment compensation is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned state unemployment rate notice and the current taxable wage base for the selected tax year, so this line remains calculator-only until employer-specific rate input is captured.
 Employer User supplied No cap
Philadelphia Wage Tax
Philadelphia Wage Tax at 3.74% for residents and 3.43% for nonresidents who work in Philadelphia.
 Employee Bracket or formula based No cap

Official sources

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerAssignedRatePercent, EmployerTaxableWageBase, resident county, work county, resident locality, work locality.
