Ohio Paycheck Calculator

Ohio levies a state income tax of $332 plus 2.75% of Ohio taxable income above $26,050 for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status. At or below $26,050 the state charges nothing; once taxable income passes $26,050 the $332 is charged in full, and the 2.75% applies only to the amount above $26,050. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Ohio take-home pay.

Ohio has not published its 2026 personal exemption yet, so this page uses its 2025 amounts until it does: $2,400 for single filers and $4,800 for married couples filing jointly, stepping down to $2,150 above $40,000 of income and $1,900 above $80,000 ($4,300 and $3,800 for married couples filing jointly), and to nothing from $500,000; after that, the first $26,050 of remaining taxable income is taxed at 0%, and once taxable income passes $26,050 the tax is a flat $332 plus 2.75% of the amount above it. Ohio does not run a ladder of rising rates for 2026. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $1,207 in Ohio income tax (roughly 2.0% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.

What this estimate doesn't include: Local income taxes are not included. Ohio municipalities and school districts levy separate local income taxes (commonly 1%-3%) that are NOT included in this estimate. This estimate includes Ohio's personal exemption at its 2025 amounts, because Ohio has not yet published its 2026 amounts: $2,400 per person with income of $40,000 or less, $2,150 up to $80,000 and $1,900 above that, with none from $500,000. A married couple filing jointly gets two. Exemptions for dependents, the joint filing credit, and other credits are not modeled. City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those.

Ohio's single-filer schedule for 2025, applied after the state deduction:

The rates above are not the whole schedule. Ohio also charges a flat $332 once taxable income passes $26,050, so the tax on $30,000 of taxable income is $332 plus 2.75% of the $3,950 above the threshold, not the 2.75% alone.

• Under HB 96, Ohio dropped to a single rate in 2026: no tax on the first $26,050 of nonbusiness income, then a flat $332 plus 2.75% of the amount above $26,050, with the 3.125% band over $100,000 applying to 2025 only.
• Because of widespread municipal income taxes (collected by RITA/CCA), an Ohio worker's combined state-plus-local income tax can reach roughly 5%-5.25% in major cities even though the state rate is only 2.75%.

$11.00/hour (≈$22,880/year full-time). Effective January 1, 2026, Ohio's minimum wage rose to $11.00/hour for non-tipped employees (tipped $5.50) for employers grossing over the threshold; smaller employers and 14-15 year-olds remain at the federal $7.25.

Qualified overtime premium pay and tips are federally deductible for 2025–2028 (OBBBA caps & rules); FICA still applies.

• Overtime: 2025 — not deductible on your Ohio return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — not deductible on your Ohio return (still state-taxed).
• Tips: 2025 — not deductible on your Ohio return (still state-taxed); 2026–2028 — not deductible on your Ohio return (still state-taxed).

Ohio has extensive municipal income taxes: most cities levy 1.8%-2.75% (Columbus 2.5%, Cleveland 2.5%, Cincinnati 1.8%, Toledo 2.25%, Akron 2.5%, Dayton 2.5%), collected mostly by RITA or the CCA rather than the state. Many school districts also levy a separate school district income tax. Credits typically apply between work-city and home-city taxes.
