Frequently Asked Questions

Ohio exempts the first $26,050 of taxable income (2024) from state income tax. This is essentially a zero-bracket amount that reduces the effective tax rate for most Ohio earners.

Nearly every Ohio city and village levies its own income tax, typically between 1% and 3%. Columbus is 2.5%, Cleveland is 2.5%, Cincinnati is 1.8%. Your employer withholds municipal tax for the city where you work.

Ohio does not tax Social Security benefits. Pension income is generally taxable in Ohio, though a retirement income credit (up to $200) is available for taxpayers age 65+.

FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) funds Social Security and Medicare. Employees pay 6.2% of wages toward Social Security (up to the $176,100 wage base in 2026) and 1.45% toward Medicare with no cap. These deductions apply in every state — they are federal, not state, taxes.

Gross pay is your salary or hourly wages before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you actually receive after federal income tax, FICA, state income tax, and any voluntary deductions like health insurance or 401(k) contributions are withheld. This calculator shows both.
