The tax rounds half up to the cent. A seller’s own rounding rules and any items taxed at other rates can change the final charge.
FedRateCalc is not a tax agency and this is not tax advice. The state tax agency’s own rate page and lookup tool are authoritative, and a seller’s receipt shows the tax actually charged.
Pennsylvania rate and local taxes
Statewide rate: 6%. The page does not state when the rate took effect.
The page says Allegheny County adds a 1 percent local tax and Philadelphia adds 2 percent. This site does not show an average local rate because no official source publishes one.
Official page: Pennsylvania tax agency page.
Worked example
A $200.00 purchase at the 6% state rate: $200.00 × 6% = $12.00 of state tax, so the total is $200.00 + $12.00 = $212.00 before any local tax. To work backward from a total that includes tax, divide it by 1 plus the combined rate.
