How this calculator works

Step 1 calculates your capital gain using cost basis and sale proceeds. If you provide dates, the tool classifies the holding period for reference.

Step 2 adds the gain to your other Pennsylvania taxable income before applying the flat rate.

Step 3 shows the Pennsylvania tax impact. The marginal rate reflects the flat state rate.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pennsylvania have a special long-term gain rate?

Pennsylvania taxes capital gains as ordinary income. Some qualified gains or extraordinary dividends may qualify for deductions, which are not applied here.

What if I have a loss?

Losses are displayed for context. Check Pennsylvania's rules for how losses offset gains.

Do I need to adjust for residency?

Part-year and nonresident filers should prorate Pennsylvania-source income using the allocation percent on their return.
