Federal, FICA, and Pennsylvania state tax (standard deduction). Local/city income tax, health insurance, and other payroll deductions aren't modeled.

How it works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base and Medicare 1.45% of all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000 single). Pennsylvania's tax is figured on your income after no standard deduction (single-filer figures). Some Pennsylvania cities and counties levy their own income tax — about 0.99% of income on average where it applies — which isn't included here.

Home prices remain moderate outside the Philadelphia collar counties.
