How Pennsylvania taxes salaries
Pennsylvania withholds a flat 3.07% with no allowances or standard deduction. Unlike the federal rules, Pennsylvania taxes 401(k) contributions, so they don't lower your state tax (health premiums paid through a cafeteria plan do). Most Pennsylvania municipalities also charge an Earned Income Tax, often 1% or more; enter yours under Local tax rate.
Not included: PA's small employee unemployment-compensation withholding and the Local Services Tax (up to $52 a year), so a real PA check may be slightly lower.
Questions

About $48,548 a year for a single filer paid every two weeks with W-4 defaults in 2026.
Does a 401(k) lower my Pennsylvania paycheck taxes?
It lowers federal income tax withholding but not Pennsylvania tax, because Pennsylvania taxes 401(k) contributions.
