Ohio income tax
From the 2026 tax year Ohio's income tax is effectively flat: income at or below $26,050 is exempt, and everything above it is taxed at 2.75%. This is a change from 2025, which still had a second bracket taxing income over $100,000 at 3.125%. The rate applies to Ohio taxable income, not to gross wages — and it is only the state layer of what an Ohio employee pays.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $26,050 | 0% (exempt) |
| Over $26,050 | 2.75% |
Source: Ohio Revised Code § 5747.02. Paychecks are withheld with Ohio's own withholding formula, which approximates these rates over a full year.

How much is $100,000 a year after taxes in Ohio?
A single filer on a $100,000 salary in Ohio takes home about $76,552 a year ($6,379 a month). Married filing jointly with one income, the same salary keeps about $82,082 a year, because the joint federal withholding brackets are wider and Ohio withholds at its married rate.
Does Ohio have a state income tax?
From the 2026 tax year Ohio's income tax is effectively flat: income at or below $26,050 is exempt, and everything above it is taxed at 2.75%. This is a change from 2025, which still had a second bracket taxing income over $100,000 at 3.125%. The rate applies to Ohio taxable income, not to gross wages — and it is only the state layer of what an Ohio employee pays.
What taxes come out of a paycheck in Ohio?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 in 2026) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000), plus Ohio income tax. The state income tax is the smallest part of what comes out of an Ohio paycheck for many employees. Municipal income tax, and in some districts a school district income tax, are withheld on top of it — which is why an Ohio stub can carry three separate income tax lines where most states carry one. Unemployment insurance is an employer tax and is not deducted from wages.
