Ohio Tax Calculator
Ohio taxes income with a large zero-rated bottom bracket followed by a single rate above it, after a 2026 reform collapsed the old multi-tier top structure into what is effectively a two-step system. On top of the state figure, many Ohio municipalities separately levy their own local income tax. Social Security is not taxed. This calculator applies Ohio's state-level schedule to your entered income.

Frequently asked questions
How is Ohio income tax calculated?
Ohio exempts a large starting slice of taxable income, then applies a single rate to the remainder at the state level. The calculator applies this state-level schedule to your entered income.
Does Ohio tax Social Security benefits?
No. Ohio excludes Social Security benefits from state taxable income.
Does Ohio have local income taxes?
Yes — many Ohio municipalities separately levy their own local income tax on top of the state amount, so your total Ohio tax bill depends on where you live or work.
How much state tax will I pay in Ohio?
The state portion depends on how much your income exceeds the untaxed starting slice; any municipal tax is added separately. Enter your income above for the state-level result.
