Pennsylvania Tax Guide

Pennsylvania Tax Guide is a practical tax companion for Pennsylvania residents, workers, freelancers, and anyone who wants a simpler way to understand state and federal tax basics.

Pennsylvania personal income tax is a flat 3.07%. Pennsylvania sales tax is 6% statewide, with an extra 1% in Allegheny County and 2% in Philadelphia. Many workers in Pennsylvania may also owe local earned income / wage tax, and some municipalities levy a Local Services Tax (LST) that is generally capped at $52 per year.

For Tax Year 2025, the Pennsylvania PA-40 individual return is due April 15, 2026. Pennsylvania generally allows up to six months to file an extension, but an extension to file does not extend the deadline to pay tax due.

Based on your current screens, the app includes a Paycheck Calculator, Annual Tax Estimate, Capital Gains Calculator, PA Sales Tax Calculator, Hourly to Salary, Overtime Calculator, Notes on Estimates, a Tax Guide with key Pennsylvania and federal topics, plus State Snapshot, Key Deadlines, Important Numbers, Free / Low-Cost Help, and a Salary Journal.


Tax rates, local tax rules, deadlines, and relief provisions can change. Users should always verify important details with official government sources or a qualified tax professional before filing.
