How Ohio taxes wages

Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. Ohio taxes income over $26,050 at 2.75%. A personal exemption comes off first: $2,400, $2,150, or $1,900 depending on income, and nothing above $500,000. Joint exemptions are doubled here. Cities and villages tax wages on top of the state. There are hundreds of rates. Type yours. Withholding tables were revised on August 1, 2026. This estimate uses the 2.75% statutory rate for the whole year. Source: Ohio Department of Taxation.

What is not in the state income tax number

The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. City or county wage tax is not included in the table; the paycheck calculator lets you add it.
