What the payment actually costs
Expect roughly $6,320 a year in property tax on a $400,000 home here. Pennsylvania's effective rate of 1.58% ranks 12th of 51, compared with about 1.10% nationally — $527 a month that never appears in a quoted mortgage payment.
Homeowners insurance runs about $1,080 a year in Pennsylvania, 49th of 51 states and below the $1,552 national average. Together, tax and insurance add roughly $617 a month to the payment before you have paid a dollar of principal.
How this fits the rest of your tax bill
Pennsylvania taxes both income and property, so neither side offsets the other. Property tax at 1.58% ranks 12th of 51, and state income tax applies on top. Model both together when comparing against a no-income-tax state, because the comparison flips depending on how much house you buy relative to what you earn.
Housing costs compound with the rate. Pennsylvania runs about 3% below national-average costs, so the same 1.58% rate applies to a smaller assessed value than it would elsewhere. A percentage rate is only half the number that matters; the base it applies to is the other half.
Property tax rates are effective statewide averages; your county assessor sets the actual figure and it varies widely within a state. See our methodology.
