title Will My Taxes Increase If Wilkinsburg Is Annexed?
header v2021.11.14.0

Tax calculations on this graphic are an estimate.
Contact a tax professional to understand your situation.

note
**TL;DR** if 3x your annual municipal income tax is greater than
approximately 45% of your total property tax, you will pay
**more** tax as Pittsburgh resident than in Wilkinsburg.
All former Wilkinsburg residents would see smaller paychecks,
but only some will pay the same or less tax via lower property tax bills.
Not a fan of math?

if (Are you a Wilkinsburg resident?) then (**YES**)
else (**NO**)
:This workflow is not for you.;

if (Do you rent or own your residence?) then (**RENT**)
:**Yes, your overall taxes will increase.**
Your municipal earned income tax will
//increase// by 3x or 300%.
You may not benefit from the decreased
property taxes unless your landlord
lowers your rent. Pittsburgh charges
landlords a business tax, so your
landlord may //increase// rent to offset
this tax that Wilkinsburg does not charge.;

**Maybe...**

Get your most recent //real estate tax// and //school tax// bills.
You may need to look at your mortgage payment information
if your taxes are escrowed through your mortgage company.
Add the full amounts together.
This is your **Wilkinsburg property tax total**.
Get your paystub and see how much you are paid
per normal pay period. Multiply that by the number
of pay periods per year (e.g. 12, 24, or 26).
This is your **yearly pre-tax income**.

Grab a calculator and something to write with and on
and write down these calculations.
Multiply the **Wilkinsburg property tax total** by ""0.457"".
This is your **Pittsburgh property tax**.
Multiply the **yearly pre-tax income** by ""0.01"".
This is your **Wilkinsburg income tax**.
Multiply the **yearly pre-tax income** by ""0.03"".
This is your **Pittsburgh income tax**.
;
:
Add the **Wilkinsburg** property and income taxes.
Add the **Pittsburgh** property and income taxes.
;
if (Which number is larger?) then (**Pittsburgh**)
:Your overall taxes will **increase**
because of the annexation.;
else (**Wilkinsburg**)
:Your overall taxes will **decrease**
because of the annexation.;
endif
:
All Wilkinsburg residents will see smaller paychecks
because Pittsburgh's earned income tax is three times
higher than that of Wilkinsburg.
Only Wilkinsburg residents whose reduction in property
taxes offsets their increase income tax //may// benefit
from the annexation, at least when it comes to these taxes.
