Pennsylvania taxes every dollar of state taxable income at a single rate of 3.07% — the 37th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. Pennsylvania gives neither a standard deduction nor a personal exemption, so the rate bites from the first dollar of state taxable income. With nothing to subtract first, the effective rate is the same 3.07% at every income: 3.07% on $40,000 and 3.07% on $150,000.

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.

What these Pennsylvania figures leave out
Recorded against Pennsylvania in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- Pennsylvania has no standard deduction and no personal exemption — tax is 3.07% of taxable compensation from the first dollar. The rate is fixed by statute and the Department's page states it without a tax year.
- Pennsylvania taxes eight classes of income separately and does not follow federal AGI; a loss in one class cannot offset income in another, and most federal deductions (including 401(k) deferrals) are not allowed.
- Local income taxes are not included. Pennsylvania municipalities and school districts levy earned income taxes, commonly 1% and 3.75% in Philadelphia.
