What else moves a paycheck in Pennsylvania
Local income tax
This is the big omission for Pennsylvania. Almost every municipality and school district levies a local earned income tax on top of the state's 3.07%, commonly around 1%, and Philadelphia's resident wage tax is several times that. None of it is included above, so a Philadelphia payslip will be noticeably lighter than this estimate.
