Ohio income tax brackets (2026)
Ohio uses a progressive income tax system. Income is taxed at increasingly higher rates as it moves through each bracket. Your marginal rate (the rate on your last dollar) is higher than your effective rate (total tax ÷ total income).
| Rate | Single filer income range |
|---|---|
| 0.00% | $0 –$26,050 |
| 2.75% | $26,050 + |
For married filing jointly, bracket thresholds are approximately doubled.
On a $100,000 salary in Ohio, you'd take home $77,146 after federal taxes, Social Security, and Medicare — an effective total tax rate of 22.9%, with a marginal state rate of 2.75%.
Ohio moved to a flat 2.75% income tax in 2026 on income over $26,050, down from a progressive system. Many Ohio cities also levy local income taxes — Columbus charges 2.5%, Cleveland 2.0%, and Cincinnati 1.8%. These local taxes are not withheld automatically by out-of-city employers, so you may owe them separately.
