Ohio income tax, explained
Ohio has nearly finished collapsing its income tax to a flat rate. For 2026 there is effectively one positive rate — 2.75% — on taxable income over $26,050, with income below $26,050 taxed at 0%. Ohio grants a personal exemption of $2,400 per person (which shrinks to as little as $1,850 at higher incomes), modeled here for the filer(s) rather than a standard deduction.
The big caveat in Ohio is local tax: most cities and many school districts levy their own income tax — commonly 1% to 3% — withheld on top of the state tax. This calculator estimates the Ohio state tax only, so if you live or work in a taxing municipality your take-home is lower. Ohio's online 'The Finder' tool gives your local rate.

Side-by-side comparisons
Estimate only — not tax advice. This calculator gives an approximate take-home figure based on 2026 federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and, where shown, state income tax. It does not account for tax credits (such as the Child Tax Credit or EITC), the Alternative Minimum Tax, preferential capital-gains rates, or itemized deductions beyond the standard deduction. Your actual paycheck may differ. Consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
