What this city-tax estimate leaves out
Pittsburgh residents pay 3% earned income tax: 1% city plus 2% school district. Non-Pennsylvania residents who work in the city pay 1%. Collected by Jordan Tax Service under Pennsylvania's Act 32 system. The $52 Local Services Tax and the resident credit of up to 1% for certain out-of-state taxes are not modeled.
It excludes federal income tax, state income tax, FICA, benefits and tax credits. Nonresidents should enter only wages taxable by this city, not wages earned elsewhere. Do not add two full city rates without checking residence credits.
See the Pennsylvania paycheck calculator for a separate state estimate. That tool does not automatically include this city tax.
