The Ohio State Tax Calculator estimates how much Ohio state and local income tax, along with federal tax and FICA, is taken from your earnings.

It uses Ohio’s 2025 three‑bracket system plus city income tax where applicable so you can see both annual liability and your net paycheck.

Ohio uses a three‑bracket progressive system for 2025 nonbusiness income, with a generous tax‑free threshold and low rates above it.

For 2025, all filers pay 0% on the first 26,050 USD of taxable income, 2.75% between 26,051 and 100,000 USD, and 3.125% on income above 100,000 USD.

Transition to flat tax: Ohio law plans to move to a flat 2.75% tax on income above 26,050 USD starting in 2026, but the three‑bracket system still applies for 2025 calculations.
State vs. local income taxes: Many municipalities, including Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, levy additional local income tax of roughly 1.8%–2.5% on wages.
Sales tax context: Ohio also charges 5.75% state sales tax plus county surcharges, but these affect spending rather than paycheck withholding.

Step 1 – Determine Ohio taxable income: Starting from gross pay, the calculator adjusts for pre‑tax deductions and federal AGI‑based adjustments to approximate Ohio taxable income.
Step 2 – Apply 2025 Ohio brackets: It taxes income within each band at 0%, 2.75%, or 3.125%, then sums the bracket amounts to get total Ohio state tax.
Step 3 – Add local city tax (if any): When you select a city, the tool applies the relevant municipal rate (for example about 2.5% in Columbus) to wages to compute local income tax.
Step 4 – Calculate federal and FICA taxes: Using federal brackets and current Social Security and Medicare rates, it estimates federal withholding and payroll contributions.
Step 5 – Show net pay and effective rates: Finally, all taxes are subtracted from gross pay so you see your take‑home pay plus effective Ohio and total tax rates.
