The usual 3.07 percent. Treated as personal income.

Pennsylvania's portion will be 3.07%. Fed portion is dependent on income level.

You need to figure out what your current income is & add the additional income. You will be taxed on your total income, which might put you in a higher bracket. I would consult a tax preparer/CPA. You dont want to get stuck and not have the money to pay Uncle Sam & your PA income taxes.

figure 40%  to be safe.   That is for Federal and State.

Dont forget the 3.8% Obamacare, state and local taxes.

Without spending forever looking for the exact amount again, this tax only kicks in after deductions on income over either 200,000.00 or 250,000.00 and does not effect income before that amount is declared.

Most often they don't take out anything at all.  The tax must still be paid, of course.  This might make it necessary for you to begin filing a quarterly return.  Familiarize yourself with the filing of quarterly estimated tax.

It is treated as ordinary income. I attached the IRS Estimated Tax Package for 2012. You can use this for a reference.

The Penn State "Tax Money" pamphlet is more user friendly than the first one referred to you, plus it gives references for further study.

Print it out or get one @ the nearest Extension Office.
