Caveat: the $0 deduction point for Pennsylvania was corroborated from a secondary host of the 2025 booklet, not from a pa.gov page.

Pennsylvania local earned income tax and the Philadelphia wage tax are separate and are not in this figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
