Understanding Your Take-Home Pay in Ohio

Ohio has a progressive state income tax that tops out at 3.75%. Notably, the first $26,050 of income is completely tax-free, making Ohio particularly favorable for lower and middle-income earners. However, most Ohio cities also levy a municipal income tax, which can add 1%-3% on top of the state rate.

Ohio State Tax Brackets

Ohio's 2026 tax brackets are straightforward: 0% on the first $26,050, 2.75% from $26,050 to $100,000, 3.5% from $100,000 to $115,300, and 3.75% on income above $115,300. The state also offers a personal exemption of $2,400. For a single filer earning $62,000, the state tax would be approximately $989 — a relatively modest amount. Compare this to your federal burden using the US Salary Calculator.

Municipal Income Taxes

One of Ohio's unique features is its widespread municipal income tax system. Nearly every city and many villages levy their own income tax, typically ranging from 1% to 3%. Columbus and Cleveland both charge 2.5%, Cincinnati charges 1.8%, and Toledo charges 2.25%. These are on top of the state tax and can significantly affect your take-home pay. This calculator estimates state tax only — be sure to factor in your local rate. Check housing costs with our Ohio Mortgage Calculator.
