What the calculator does
For each gross annual salary, it estimates federal income-tax liability, FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage cap + 1.45% Medicare), then Pennsylvania income-tax liability using the brackets above. Pre-tax deductions reduce the modeled taxable income.
Scope: this is an annual planning estimate, not a payroll-withholding calculation. It does not model W-4 or state withholding elections, tax credits, itemized deductions, most local taxes, or employer-specific benefits.
