About Ohio paychecks & taxes
Ohio exempts the first roughly $26,000 of income from tax and then applies a low flat rate of about 2.75% above that — so lower earners often owe little or no state income tax.
The bigger factor in Ohio is municipal income tax: many cities (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and others) charge around 2%–2.5% on wages, and this calculator does not include those local taxes. If you live or work in a taxing municipality, your real take-home is lower.
