Ohio Paycheck Calculator
Ohio charges no income tax on the first $26,050 of taxable income in 2026, then $332 plus 2.75% of the rest, after a $1,900 personal exemption.
Ohio taxes income at a single 2.75% rate for 2026, but only once taxable income passes $26,050: at or below that there's no tax, and above it you owe $332 plus 2.75% of the amount over $26,050. The same schedule applies to every filing status. There's no standard deduction; each filer subtracts a $1,900 personal exemption ($3,800 on a joint return), the amount for incomes over $80,000. Ohio cities and villages, and some school districts, levy their own income taxes, which this calculator doesn't include.

Ohio Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Ohio
What is the Ohio state income tax rate for 2026?
2.75%. Ohio charges no tax when taxable income (Ohio adjusted gross income less exemptions) is $26,050 or less; above that the tax is $332 plus 2.75% of the amount over $26,050. House Bill 96, passed in 2025, set this schedule for 2026 and later years, and it's the same for every filing status.
What is Ohio's personal exemption?
Ohio has no standard deduction. Instead you subtract a personal exemption for yourself and, on a joint return, your spouse. The amount depends on modified adjusted gross income: $2,400 at $40,000 or less, $2,150 up to $80,000 and $1,900 above that. Those are the 2025 amounts, and they stay the same for 2026 because House Bill 96 paused inflation indexing; from 2026 there's no exemption at $500,000 or more. The calculator uses $1,900 per filer, which is right from $80,001 to $499,999.
Does Ohio have city income taxes?
Yes. Ohio cities and villages levy their own income taxes, generally where you work, and some school districts tax their residents' income too. Rates vary by city and district, and this calculator doesn't include them.
How much Ohio tax is withheld from a bonus?
2.75%. Since January 1, 2026, Ohio's rule has employers withhold from bonuses and other supplemental pay at the year's highest income tax rate, which is 2.75% for 2026.
What does this calculator leave out for Ohio?
It uses the $1,900 exemption at every income, though Ohio allows $2,400 at $40,000 or less and $2,150 up to $80,000. That matters most just above the $26,050 line: a single filer earning $27,951 to $28,450 sees $332 to $346 a year of Ohio tax here, where Ohio charges none. It also starts from gross wages rather than federal adjusted gross income, and leaves out dependent exemptions, the $20 exemption credit, the joint filing credit, and city and school district income taxes.
