How Ohio paychecks work (2026)
In Ohio, your take-home pay is your salary minus federal income tax, FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%) and Ohio state income tax. This calculator uses the official 2026 rates for a single filer.
Ohio state income tax
Ohio has no tax on the first $26,050 of income, then a flat 2.75% above that (its top rate).
Example: $80,000 in Ohio
Federal tax is about $8,770, FICA $6,120, and Ohio state tax about $1,484 — leaving a take-home of roughly $63,626 a year.
What this calculator does not include
- Local/city taxes (municipal income tax), 401(k) and pre-tax deductions, and filing statuses other than single.
- It shows tax liability, which can differ from paycheck withholding (employers often over-withhold).
