Pay after rent is median weekly pay × 52 ÷ 12 minus a 2-BR rent benchmark built from HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent areas, before taxes; it is not take-home pay, and the rent benchmark is not a prediction of what you will pay. Tax rates are 2026 figures from the Tax Foundation, not tax advice. Compact status per NCSBN.

What's in a Pennsylvania travel RN weekly rate
Pennsylvania taxes income at a low flat rate, so the taxed base loses little to the state. A weekly figure sets that base alongside tax-free stipends for housing and meals, and that pairing is what reaches your account.
Hourly base, the wage portion of the rate
Housing stipend, a weekly housing allowance
Meals & incidentals, a daily meals allowance
The actual mix varies by contract, agency, and location.
The cost side of a Pennsylvania contract
Pennsylvania's cost of living sits near the national average, with Philadelphia pricier than Pittsburgh and the rest of the state. Its flat income tax is one of the lowest of any state that has one, which helps take-home. Below is what the rate is worth once rent is paid.
3.07% flat

Applies to the taxable base; stipends are typically not taxed.

Pennsylvania travel pay, explained
How is Pennsylvania's travel market laid out?
As two anchors with a corridor between. Philadelphia in the east runs on Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, and Temple Health; Pittsburgh in the west runs on UPMC and Allegheny Health Network; Harrisburg, Allentown, and Erie add volume in between. The two metros sit far apart with different rents, so treat them as separate markets when you compare offers rather than one state rate.
Can I work Pennsylvania on a multistate license?
Yes, as of 2025. Pennsylvania brought the Nurse Licensure Compact fully into effect, so a multistate license from a member state works on its own with no separate Pennsylvania application, removing what used to be the state's biggest start-date obstacle. If your home state sits outside the compact, endorsement is still required, so plan that timeline before you shop.
How heavy is Pennsylvania's tax bite?
Light by income-tax-state standards. Pennsylvania charges a flat rate that sits among the lowest of any state with an income tax, so withholding on your taxable base is modest, and housing and meal stipends stay outside income tax with a standing tax home. Costs beyond the two big metros are reasonable too, which keeps net pay competitive with no-tax states.
Will I land in academic or community hospitals in Pennsylvania?
Likely academic-affiliated. Both anchors are built around major academic systems, so assignments lean toward higher-acuity teaching environments, though community hospitals statewide add steady general demand. If you want high-acuity experience on your resume, Pennsylvania delivers it readily; if you prefer a community pace, say so early so your recruiter screens for the right facilities from the start.
Philadelphia or Pittsburgh: how do I choose?
By system fit and cost, since both post strong volume. Philadelphia offers three major academic networks and East Coast proximity; Pittsburgh concentrates in UPMC's extensive network with somewhat gentler rents. The specialties in demand overlap heavily between them, so let the deciding factors be the unit you're offered, the local rent, and which city you'd rather spend thirteen weeks in.
