  • Over 600 Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax, commonly between 1% and 3%, and around 200 school districts levy one as well. Neither is modelled here, so an Ohio take-home figure is high by roughly your local rate.
  • Ohio has no standard deduction. The personal exemption is deducted from Ohio adjusted gross income and steps down as income rises.
  • Ohio taxes nothing at or below $26,050 of taxable income. Above it the tax is a flat $332 plus 2.75% of the excess, so crossing the line costs $332 at once rather than starting from zero.

Ohio municipal and school district income tax

This is the biggest gap in an Ohio estimate, and it is worth reading before you rely on the figure above. Over 600 Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax, commonly between 1% and 3% — Columbus and Cleveland are both 2.5%, Cincinnati 1.8% — and around 200 school districts levy a separate income tax on residents on top of that.

Neither is modelled here. Your actual Ohio take-home will be lower than the figure above by roughly your local rate, which for a city resident is a larger deduction than many people expect.

If you live in one city and work in another you generally owe tax to the city where you work and receive a partial credit from the city where you live. The two rates rarely cancel out exactly, so the net effect is usually a small additional cost rather than none. Look your own rate up through RITA or the Central Collection Agency, whichever administers your municipality.

The state layer itself is comparatively simple for 2026: a flat 2.75% on income above a threshold, with everything at or below that threshold taxed at zero, plus a personal exemption that steps down as income rises.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about take-home pay in Ohio

On a $75,000 salary, a single filer in Ohio takes home about $59,974 a year, or $2,307 every two weeks. That is an effective tax rate of about 20.04%. Change the salary, filing status and pay frequency in the calculator to see your own figure.

No, and in Ohio that matters more than in most states. Over 600 Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax, commonly between 1% and 3%, and this calculator does not model any of them. Your actual take-home in Ohio will be lower than the figure above by roughly your city rate.

Around 200 Ohio school districts levy an income tax on residents, separate from both state and municipal tax. It is withheld from your pay if you live in one of those districts, and it is not included in this calculator either.

Look up your municipality through RITA or the Central Collection Agency, whichever administers it. If you live in one city and work in another you generally owe the city where you work and receive a partial credit from the city where you live — the two rates rarely cancel out exactly.

Only if you enter them. Pre-tax retirement contributions and health premiums come out of your pay before income tax is calculated, so including them raises your take-home relative to a plain gross-to-net estimate. Health premiums also reduce Social Security and Medicare, while retirement contributions do not — which is why the two fields are separate.

Each qualifying child is worth a $2,200 federal tax credit. A credit comes off the tax you owe rather than off your taxable income, so it is worth the same amount whatever bracket you are in. It begins phasing out above $200,000 of income, or $400,000 filing jointly. Ohio also reduces its own tax for dependents, on top of the federal credit. Enter the number of children above and every figure updates.

It uses the 2026 federal and state tax tables and standard deductions, so it lands close for a straightforward salaried situation, but your actual paycheck will differ. It covers the federal child tax credit and the main state credits and exemptions, but not credits that depend on a child's age or household income, and it does not model local or municipal income tax, itemised deductions, multi-state work or supplemental wages such as bonuses. It is an estimate rather than tax advice.
