How Ohio taxes income
Ohio finished its flat-tax conversion in 2026: nothing on the first $26,050, then 2.75% on everything above. The catch is municipal taxes — most Ohio cities levy 1-2.5% on wages, which usually costs more than the state tax itself.
| Taxable income (single) | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $26,050 | 0% |
| $26,050+ | 2.75% |
Deduction applied before state tax (single filer): $2,400.
Ohio's personal exemption shrinks with income ($2,400 down to $1,900); the base amount is used. No standard deduction. HB 96 completed Ohio's move to a flat 2.75% on income over $26,050 in 2026.
