Pennsylvania's local Earned Income Tax: the combined municipality + school district levy that follows your RESIDENCE — with withholding at whichever is higher, home rate or work-town rate, under Act 32.
The custom field is used only when "isn't listed" is selected — your exact total resident rate is on the PA DCED registry under your PSD code. Most work municipalities levy a 1% nonresident rate; a few (like Pittsburgh) levy none beyond the resident structure — set 0 if yours doesn't.
Applied rate: 3%. Your resident rate is the higher one — Act 32 withholding follows it.
Both your municipality and your school district may levy an EIT; combined, they form your Total Resident EIT Rate. Your employer withholds the higher of that rate and the nonresident rate where you work, and a county-based Tax Collection District (69 statewide — Berkheimer, Keystone, Jordan and others) collects it. Philadelphia is outside the system: it has its own wage tax instead.
School districts differ street by street: the same municipality can hold several PSD codes with different school levies. Your Residency Certification Form (CLGS-32-6) fixes the code your employer uses.
Yes — a local EIT return with your TCD's collector each spring, reconciling what was withheld. Movers and multi-job holders most often owe or get refunds at that step.
Philadelphia wages are exempt from local EIT (the city wage tax replaces it) — set the work rate aside and use the Philadelphia calculator.
