⚠️ Over 600 Ohio municipalities levy their own income tax, typically 1%-3%. Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Parma, and Canton are now computed via the selector above (flat rate, assumes you live and work in the same selected city — Ohio's actual resident-credit-for-work-city-tax rules are not modeled); most of the state's 600+ other taxing municipalities are still not covered. For many urban Ohio workers, city tax exceeds the state tax computed here.

Ohio Hourly Wage Tax FAQ

What is $20 an hour after taxes in Ohio?

About $35,000 net per year for a single full-time worker after federal tax, 7.65% FICA and Ohio state tax - less if you work in a city with a 2%-2.5% municipal income tax. Select your city in the calculator above.

Does the Ohio calculator include city (RITA/CCA) tax?

Yes if you select a city. Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Parma and Canton are built in at their current rates; choose 'other' to enter a custom municipal rate.

Is Ohio overtime taxed differently?

No - overtime uses the same state, city, federal and FICA rates. Ohio's state brackets are low, so most of the tax on extra hours is federal plus FICA plus any city tax.

Methodology & Source

Ohio state tax figures sourced from Ohio Department of Taxation (https://tax.ohio.gov/individual/resources/annual-tax-rates), citing Ohio Rev. Code § 5747.02, as amended by House Bill 96 (FY2026-27 budget) — completion of the multi-year phase-down to a single 2.75% bracket for 2026 (3.5% in 2024, 3.125% in 2025, 2.75% in 2026), with the first $26,050 of nonbusiness income untaxed. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Ohio's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures have been independently verified against the source above.

Local tax figures sourced from Ohio municipal income tax (RITA/CCA/self-administered city tax departments). Rates cross-checked against two independent secondary sources 2026-07-29 (countrytaxcalc.com, tax-rates.org via search synthesis, and cantonohio.gov directly for Canton); tax.ohio.gov could not be reached in this environment (DNS error), same issue already logged in this file's deviation_note. Dayton was excluded — sources disagreed (2.25% vs 2.5%) rather than guessed between. Youngstown, Lorain, and Springfield were excluded for lacking a second independent source. Ohio has 600+ taxing municipalities; only the 7 largest with agreeing rates are covered below. This models a flat rate only — Ohio residents working in a different taxing city than they live in often get a credit against their resident tax for tax paid to their work-city, which this calculator does not compute (it assumes the selected city is both home and work location).

This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and OH state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4/IT-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, municipal tax, and other factors. Some early secondary sources disagreed on whether OH 2026 has one bracket or an additional tier above $100,000 — resolved: House Bill 96 (the FY2026-27 state budget) completed the phase-down to a single 2.75% bracket with no additional tier, confirmed by multiple independent sources citing that bill. Direct fetch of tax.ohio.gov failed in this environment (DNS error) both times attempted; re-verify there directly when reachable.
