Ohio Income Tax Rates for 2026
Ohio taxes income at a flat 2.75%, applied to taxable income above $26,050. Rates are as of January 1, 2026.
| Rate | Single: taxable income over | Married filing jointly: taxable income over |
|---|---|---|
| 2.75% | $26,050 | $26,050 |
- Personal exemption: $2,400 (single), $4,800 (married filing jointly)
How This Estimate Is Calculated
Social Security = min(Salary, $184,500) × 6.2%
Medicare = Salary × 1.45% + 0.9% of wages above $200,000 ($250,000 married filing jointly)
Ohio Tax = Ohio brackets applied to (Salary − state deductions and exemptions), less any personal credit
Take-Home Pay = Salary − Federal Tax − Social Security − Medicare − Ohio Tax
What This Estimate Leaves Out
- Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, and HSA or FSA contributions.
- Tax credits such as the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, dependents, and itemized deductions.
- State disability or paid-leave payroll contributions, where a state has them.
- Head of household filers: federal tax uses the head-of-household brackets, but the Ohio tax uses the single-filer schedule, which can overstate it.
- Local income taxes are not included. Counties or cities in Ohio levy their own income taxes; Tax Foundation puts the average effective local rate at about 1.2% of adjusted gross income (2023 data).
- Ohio's personal exemption is $2,400 per person for adjusted gross income of $40,000 or less, $2,150 up to $80,000, and $1,900 above that. Those tiers are included.
