My husband is getting paid /hr this payroll gross was 8. The deductions are 8.40 (child support) and all the other taxes deductions. I see everything in order but they started also holding Philadelphia local Income tax for .04. I did know about Federal Income tax and PA income tax but this Philadelphia taxes I never herd of them and the withold amount is almost 3 times higher than the PA one. So he is only receiving $ 4.28 this payroll. Is this right?

    Many states allow cities to have local income taxes. Philadelphia does have such a tax. The rate is 4.301% of Gross Wages. The PA state income tax rate is 3.07%. There should be Philadelphia tax withheld, but 3 times the PA tax sounds high. You overall deductions, not counting child support, are about the same % of gross as mine.
