Sales Tax Calculator, Levittown, PA

What shoppers pay in Levittown, PA

Levittown is a mid-sized Pennsylvania city, the 9th most populous city in the state, with roughly 52,699 residents. Pennsylvania charges a 6.00% state sales tax, and counties, cities and special districts add their own levies on top. Across the state those local add-ons average 0.34%, bringing the typical combined rate to 6.34%.

Census figures (ACS 5-Year 2023) put median household income in Levittown at $101,619, or about $1,954 a week. At the state's typical combined rate, a $500 purchase adds $31.70 in tax, and a $2,000 one adds $126.80. That larger figure works out to roughly 6% of a week's median household income here, which is why timing a big appliance or furniture purchase around a sales tax holiday can be worth the wait.

One caveat matters before you budget from these numbers. The 6.34% above is a statewide average, not a rate we can confirm for a specific Levittown address. Because special districts draw their own boundaries, two addresses a few streets apart can fall under different combined rates. For a purchase where the difference matters, check the rate lookup published by the Pennsylvania revenue department for the exact delivery address. Groceries are exempt in Pennsylvania, so a weekly food shop is not affected.
