About Pennsylvania Income Tax
Pennsylvania has one of the lowest flat income tax rates in the country at 3.07%, applied uniformly to all taxable income. Pennsylvania uses its own system rather than the federal standard deduction — all wages are generally fully taxable at the state level with limited deductions. However, Pennsylvania does not tax pension income or Social Security, making it favorable for retirees. Philadelphia levies a wage tax of 3.75% for residents and 3.44% for non-residents working in Philadelphia — significantly increasing the burden for workers in that city. Pittsburgh charges 3% for residents. Most other Pennsylvania cities have local earned income taxes of 1–2%. When factoring in local taxes, Pennsylvania's effective rate for workers in major cities often exceeds 5–7%. Property taxes vary considerably by county and school district and are a major topic in Pennsylvania politics.
