Ohio has a flat 2.75% income tax on taxable income above $26,050 ($26,050 for joint filers).
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $1,287 in Ohio tax, 1.7% of pay. That is 41st of 51, in the bottom third, and $1,309 less than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $3,304.
Ohio’s personal exemption gets smaller as income rises and stops at $500,000. Most Ohio cities and many school districts charge an income tax, often 1% to 2.5%.
In Ohio, about $77,199, or $6,433 a month, for a single filer with no pre-tax deductions. That is after $13,170 of federal income tax, $7,650 of Social Security and Medicare and $1,981 of Ohio tax.
Ohio uses one rate, 2.75%, for every taxable dollar above $26,050, so your top rate and your starting rate are the same.
Ohio does not tax Social Security, but pensions and 401(k) or IRA withdrawals are taxed like other income.
No. On a $75,000 salary none of Ohio's neighbors (Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia) takes less in state income tax.
