Ohio has a progressive income tax system with rates ranging from 0% to 3.75% based on income level. Ohio also has local income taxes including school district taxes (typically 0.5% to 2%) and municipal taxes (typically 1% to 3%) that vary by location.
Our calculator doesn’t consider both 401(k) and IRA deductions due to the tax law limitations. Please note, the amount of your IRA deductions may vary. You should speak with a tax professional to determine your tax situation.
