Tax Formula

  1. Subtract the nontaxable biweekly Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) payment from the gross biweekly wages.

Note: The biweekly FEHB payment is taxable income for the city of Philadelphia; therefore, do not subtract the biweekly FEHB payment when computing Philadelphia city income tax.

  1. Multiply the adjusted gross biweekly wages by the number of pay dates in the tax year to obtain the gross annual wages.

  2. Calculate the gross annual wages by applying the following guidelines to determine the annual Pennsylvania city income tax withholdings:
