Ohio Paycheck Calculator2026
Estimate your Ohio take-home pay after federal, state, and FICA taxes.
Ohio's paycheck math has a twist: the annual return moved to a flat 2.75% rate, but your employer still withholds using a graduated formula, so the tax taken out each period isn't a simple flat percentage. Many cities and school districts also levy their own income tax.
Put your pay in below, hourly or salary, and you'll get your Ohio take-home pay with federal tax, FICA, and state withholding worked out on 2026 brackets.
How Ohio paycheck tax works
For the annual return, Ohio moved to a flat 2.75% rate for 2026 on nonbusiness income above a $26,050 exemption threshold (income at or below $26,050 is taxed at 0%). Employer paycheck WITHHOLDING is not a flat 2.75%: the official formula subtracts $650 per exemption and applies graduated bracket rates (1.775% / 2.990% / 3.640%) that approximate the flat liability. Supplemental wages such as bonuses are withheld at a separate statutory rate of 3.5%.
Local tax can apply on top of the state's share. About 600 Ohio municipalities (RITA/CCA cities) and many school districts levy their own income tax, withheld separately from state tax.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs Ohio's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables. Local city, county, or school-district taxes aren't included in this figure.
