How your Ohio paycheck is calculated
- •Ohio became a flat-tax state on January 1, 2026: 2.75% applies only above $26,050 of taxable income — income below that is state-tax-free.
- •A $2,400 personal exemption (modeled as a deduction) further shields income.
- •Most Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax of 1%–3% (Columbus 2.5%, Cleveland 2.5%) — excluded here, and often the bigger bite for Ohio workers.
- •Ohio's state income tax has fallen from 9 brackets (top 5.9%) in 2005 to today's single 2.75% rate.
