Ohio Paycheck Calculator (2026)
See take-home pay for any salary in Ohio for 2026. Enter an amount, or pick a common salary from the list to get federal tax, FICA, and Ohio state tax broken out in full.
Ohio now exempts a first slice of income at zero, then taxes the rest at a single flat rate of 2.75%, having moved to that flat structure for 2026. There is no standard deduction; a per-person exemption, tiered by income, reduces the base instead. The layer that really shapes an Ohio paycheck is local: most Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax on wages, usually withheld where you work, and some school districts add a district income tax too. This page serves Ohio workers comparing take-home; the tables below show state pay across salary levels for 2026 after federal tax, FICA and Ohio income tax, before any city or school-district tax.

Frequently asked questions
How is take-home pay calculated in Ohio?
We start with your gross salary and subtract the 2026 federal standard deduction for your filing status, then apply the federal tax brackets to what is left. FICA, the Social Security and Medicare tax, is added on the gross. On top of that comes the Ohio state layer, using Ohio's own brackets or flat rate and its deductions. The result is your estimated annual tax liability, which we divide across your pay periods to show weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures.
Does Ohio tax bonuses differently?
A bonus is withheld using supplemental wage rules, which can differ from your regular paycheck. See the Ohio bonus tax page for how the federal flat rate and the state layer apply.
Are these numbers withholding or final tax?
These are an annual tax-liability estimate, not the exact withholding from any one paycheck. The per-paycheck columns are the annual figure divided by the number of pay periods. Your employer's real withholding uses IRS payroll tables and can differ slightly, then reconciles when you file your return.
