Paycheck Calculator — Ohio
Ohio taxes wages at a flat 2.75% in 2026, but only on income above $26,050 — earnings below that threshold are untaxed entirely. On a $60,000 salary the model estimates just $933.63 of Ohio state income tax. Ohio municipal income taxes, commonly 1-2.5% in most cities, are not included in this estimate.

Annual deductions from gross
Estimate for the 2026 tax year using the federal standard deduction and published IRS/SSA rates. It does not model itemized deductions, tax credits, dependents, or local city taxes. Ohio moved to a flat 2.75% on income above $26,050 in 2026, modeled here as a 0% bracket plus one 2.75% tier; the Ohio personal exemption is omitted. Ohio municipal income taxes (commonly 1-2.5% in most cities) are not included. Not tax advice.
Ohio's 2.75% flat rate starts above $26,050
Ohio finished its multi-year bracket consolidation by moving to a single 2.75% rate for 2026, applied only to income above $26,050. The first $26,050 you earn carries no Ohio income tax at all, which is why the state line stays small relative to most income-tax states: a single filer earning $60,000 pays an estimated $933.63 to Ohio, and the model projects $49,456.38 of net annual pay once federal income tax and FICA are included.
Two omissions matter here. The model leaves out the Ohio personal exemption, and — more significantly — it does not include Ohio municipal income taxes, which most cities levy at roughly 1-2.5% of wages. A Columbus or Cleveland paycheck will show a city withholding line this estimate does not. Treat the result as a 2026 estimate of the state layer only, not tax advice.
Questions
- Why is Ohio's state tax line so low on this page?
- Because Ohio's flat 2.75% rate applies only to income above $26,050. On a $60,000 salary, just $33,950 is taxable to the state, producing an estimated $933.63 — far less than 2.75% of the full salary.
- Does this estimate include my Ohio city income tax?
- No. Ohio municipal income taxes, commonly 1-2.5% in most cities, are not modeled, and the Ohio personal exemption is also omitted. Your actual paycheck in a city such as Columbus or Cincinnati will show an additional local withholding line.
