New York vs Pennsylvania take-home pay
Pennsylvania uses a flat state income tax; New York uses progressive brackets. Locals matter a lot in both places (Act 32 EIT, Philadelphia, NYC) but are mostly outside this engine — the state schedules alone still produce a clear modeled gap.
At this salary, estimated annual net is $1,781.90 higher in Pennsylvania.
Default scenario: $85,000.00 annual gross · single · tax year US-2026. New York: $64,236.10; Pennsylvania: $66,018.00.
