Understanding Ohio's Paycheck Taxes

Your paycheck in Ohio is subject to taxes at the federal, state, and often, local level. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect.

Ohio State Income Tax

Ohio uses a progressive tax system, meaning the tax rate increases as income rises. For the 2024 tax year, Ohio has simplified its tax brackets. Notably, there is **no state income tax** on the first $26,050 of your income.

Our calculator uses these official brackets to estimate your state withholding.

The Impact of Ohio's Local Income Taxes

A crucial factor in Ohio payroll is the prevalence of local income taxes, levied by municipalities (cities and villages) and some school districts. These are **not included** in our calculator's estimate because they vary significantly based on your specific work and home location. Rates typically range from 1% to 3%. It's important to remember that your final take-home pay will likely be lower than our state-level estimate due to these local deductions.
