Pennsylvania Hourly Wage Tax FAQ
How do I turn my PA hourly wage into take-home pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by hours per week, add any overtime at 1.5x, then multiply by 52 for gross annual pay. Subtract federal tax, 7.65% FICA, and Pennsylvania’s flat 3.07% state tax. This calculator does that and shows annual, monthly and weekly net figures; a $25/hour full-time job in Pennsylvania nets roughly $42,000 a year before any local EIT - use the calculator above for your exact figure.
Does Pennsylvania tax overtime differently?
No. Overtime pay is taxed at the same rates as regular hourly pay - flat 3.07% state, plus federal and FICA. The only difference is that time-and-a-half raises your gross, which can nudge you into a higher federal bracket.
Is Philadelphia wage tax included in the hourly calculator?
Yes if you select it. Choose Philadelphia resident (3.735%) or non-resident (3.425%) from the local tax dropdown and it is applied to gross pay. Other Pennsylvania municipalities levy their own Earned Income Tax (often 1%+) that this calculator does not compute.
Methodology & Source
Pennsylvania state tax figures sourced from Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (https://www.revenue.pa.gov/), citing 72 P.S. § 7302 — flat 3.07% Personal Income Tax rate, unchanged since 2004. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Pennsylvania's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures have been independently verified against the source above.
Local tax figures sourced from City of Philadelphia Department of Revenue — Wage Tax / Earnings Tax rates (https://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/taxes/income-taxes/earnings-tax-employees/). Rate effective 2026-07-01 (part of a 5-year phased reduction plan); cross-checked against a second secondary source 2026-07-29.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and PA state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, local EIT, and other factors.
