What is Pittsburgh's combined local tax rate?
Pittsburgh's earned income tax is 3.00% total on gross compensation: 1.00% to the City of Pittsburgh and 2.00% to the School District of Pittsburgh, collected together as a single earned income tax.

This calculator models Pittsburgh at its resident rate. Pennsylvania's Act 32 generally has the employer withhold the higher of the employee's home-municipality rate or the work-location's non-resident rate -- a commuter's actual figure depends on their own municipality's EIT rate too, not just Pittsburgh's.
