Corrections

How to tell us about a mistake, and what we do about it.

If anything on this site is wrong, whether an answer, a rate, a date or a sentence, we want to fix it.

How to tell us

Email contact@pennsylvaniapaycheckcalculator.com with:

  • the address of the page;
  • what you typed into the calculator, if it is about an answer;
  • what looks wrong, and what you expected, for example the amount on your pay stub;
  • a link to the government source, if you have one.

Please leave out your name, your Social Security number and anything else personal: we don’t need them.

What we do

We check what you sent against the government publication the figure comes from, whether that is the IRS, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, the Department of Labor & Industry, the Department of Community and Economic Development or the City of Philadelphia, and against the arithmetic. If we got something wrong, we correct it. When a correction changes a figure or a rule a page states, rather than only its wording, the page says what changed and when.

Some differences are not mistakes. An employer’s payroll may round to whole dollars, use different pay dates, or take deductions we don’t know about. How we calculate says what the calculators include and what they leave out.

Keeping the figures current

Tax rates change. The IRS publishes new withholding tables each year, local rates can change on January 1 and July 1, and Philadelphia changes its Wage Tax on July 1. When new figures are published, we change ours, and every calculator and guide shows the day its figures were last checked.
