How Pennsylvania taxes wages in 2026

Pennsylvania applies a flat 3.07% rate to taxable income. Pennsylvania has no standard deduction or personal exemption. Employee 401(k) and other elective retirement deferrals are taxable compensation for PA purposes (PA PIT Guide: contributions to an IRC Section 401 plan are not excludable), so they do not reduce state taxable wages; pre-tax Section 125 health premiums are excluded. Local earned income taxes (typically 1% to 2%, up to 3.75% in Philadelphia) are not included.
