Tax Overview
Ohio has been flattening its income tax over several years: income under $26,050 is exempt, and income above it is taxed at up to 3.125% for 2025. Some Ohio cities levy their own municipal income tax on top of this (typically 1%-3%).
Tax Planning Tip
Ohio's exemption of the first $26,050 of income means very low effective state rates for modest earners. However, municipal income taxes (Cleveland and Columbus, for example) can add significantly — these are separate from state tax.
Ohio also allows many municipalities to levy their own income taxes, typically ranging from 1% to 3%. Ohio does not tax Social Security benefits at the state level.
