What the calculator does
For each gross salary, it applies the 2026 federal brackets, FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage cap + 1.45% Medicare on everything), then Ohio's state income tax using the brackets above. Pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, etc.) reduce your taxable income before any of the above runs.

FAQ
How is take-home pay in Ohio calculated?
Take-home = gross salary − federal income tax − FICA (Social Security + Medicare) − Ohio state income tax. The calculator above runs each piece through the published 2026 brackets and rates.
What are Ohio's income tax brackets?
Ohio has 2 brackets ranging from 0% on the first dollars to 2.75% on the top dollars. Only the dollars in each band are taxed at that band's rate — a higher bracket doesn't mean your whole income gets the higher rate.
Anything special about Ohio taxes I should know?
Ohio eliminated the top bracket in 2026; now effectively flat 2.75% on income above $26,050. Plus local school district + city income taxes in many municipalities (often 1-3%) — not included here.
What about local city or county taxes in Ohio?
Yes — see the note above. Local taxes vary by municipality and aren't included in this calculator.
Are these 2026 numbers accurate?
These brackets reflect the published 2026 rates as of January 2026. Each state's tax authority is cited in the page source. Rates can change mid-year via legislation; verify with your state's Department of Revenue before relying on these for financial decisions.
