    Ohio income tax in 2026

    Ohio taxes income at a flat 2.75% on income above $26,050.

    What makes Ohio different

    Ohio moved to a flat 2.75% rate on nonbusiness income above $26,050 starting in 2026, replacing its graduated brackets. The bigger variable for many workers is municipal income tax: most Ohio cities levy their own tax, commonly 1% to 2.5%, and some school districts add another.

    • Starting in 2026, Ohio taxes nonbusiness income above $26,050 at a flat 2.75% (H.B. 96); income up to $26,050 is taxed at 0%.
    • Ohio personal exemptions (which depend on income) are not included, so the estimate is slightly conservative.
    • Ohio’s 2026 withholding tables use different rates than the annual tax; your actual withholding may differ from your final tax.
    • Most Ohio cities and many school districts levy their own income tax (commonly 1%–2.5%); these are not included.
