How this calculator works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction; Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare 1.45% (plus 0.9% over $200,000).

Pennsylvania income tax uses its 2026 brackets, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.

What it assumes

  • Standard deduction, no other income or credits, and the year's tax spread evenly across paychecks.
  • Pennsylvania has no state disability or paid-leave payroll tax that this leaves out.
  • Some Pennsylvania cities, counties or school districts tax wages (on average 0.99% where they do); enter yours as local income tax.
