On a $60,000 salary, that works out to about $49,522 in annual take-home pay for a single filer; at $100,000 it is roughly $77,212. Use the calculator above with your own salary, filing status, and pay schedule for a precise estimate.
2026 Ohio income tax brackets (single filer)
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| Over $26,050 | 2.75% |
Ohio does not offer a typical state standard deduction; tax generally applies from the first dollar of taxable income unless specific exemptions apply. A personal exemption of $2,400 per filer further reduces taxable income. Flat 2.75% on nonbusiness income over $26,050 (first $26,050 untaxed), new for 2026. Municipal income taxes are significant (avg 1.2% of AGI). Personal exemption is income-dependent: $2,400 (AGI <= $40k), $2,150 ($40k-$80k), $1,900 ($80k-$500k), none above $500k; joint filing credit and exemptions limited to MAGI <= $500,000.
Keep in mind this tool estimates annual tax liability divided across paychecks. Your actual withholding depends on your W-4 form, pre-tax benefits such as 401(k) or health insurance premiums, and any credits you claim at filing time. Pre-tax contributions lower both your federal and Ohio taxable income, so real take-home pay is often slightly different from this estimate.
How this calculator works
Take-home = Gross − Federal income tax − Ohio state tax − FICA (Social Security + Medicare)
- Federal tax uses the 2026 IRS brackets after the standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married).
- FICA is 6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500 plus 1.45% Medicare (0.9% extra above $200,000 single / $250,000 married).
- Ohio state tax applies a flat 2.75% rate after available state deductions and exemptions.
