Paycheck · Ohio · 2026
Ohio Paycheck Calculator
Enter your pay, hours and deductions to estimate Ohio net pay per paycheck, plus weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual equivalents. Ohio income-tax withholding, any additional Ohio withholding you requested, and the optional municipal and school-district estimates are shown as separate lines, never merged into one state-and-local figure. This estimates employer paycheck withholding under the current Ohio tables — it is not your final annual Ohio income-tax liability.
Ohio employers withhold under the percentage method effective August 1, 2026: the exemption amount for your pay frequency is subtracted first, then rates of 1.600%, 2.990% and 3.400% apply in bands. Ohio's rates do not change with filing status. Municipal and school-district taxes are set locally, so both rates are optional inputs you look up yourself.

What-if scenarios
Calculations are estimates for informational purposes and are not tax, legal, or financial advice. Actual withholding and take-home pay may differ.
How Ohio withholding is calculated
How the percentage method works
Ohio first subtracts an exemption amount for each exemption claimed on your Form IT 4 — $12.50 weekly, $25.00 biweekly, $27.08 semimonthly or $54.17 monthly — from the wages for that pay period, and never below zero. The remainder is taxed at 1.600% in the first band, then 2.990% plus a fixed amount, then 3.400% plus a fixed amount in the top band. On $1,000 of weekly wages with no exemptions, Ohio withholding is $22.94; with one exemption the taxable wage falls to $987.50 and withholding is $22.57.
Tables effective August 1, 2026
Ohio revised its employer withholding tables with effect from August 1, 2026, and this calculator uses that revision throughout. Paychecks issued before that date were withheld under the earlier tables, so a January or June pay stub from 2026 will not match these figures. The Department of Taxation publishes the current percentage-method tables and announces changes in its employer-withholding updates.
Filing status and Ohio withholding
Your federal filing status changes federal withholding only. Ohio's percentage-method bands are the same regardless of whether you file single, jointly, separately or as head of household — what changes your Ohio withholding is the number of exemptions on your Form IT 4 and any extra amount you asked to have withheld.
Additional Ohio withholding
Form IT 4 lets you request an extra dollar amount of Ohio withholding from each paycheck, usually to cover other income or a municipal balance. That amount is added once, after the table has been applied, and appears as its own result line whenever it is not zero, so you can always see how much of your Ohio withholding you asked for yourself.
Municipal income tax varies by location
Ohio municipalities levy their own income taxes and the rates differ from city to city. Municipal withholding generally depends on the municipality where you actually work, and residence rules or a credit for tax paid to the work city may change what you owe where you live. No address or ZIP-code database is built into this calculator, so nothing is assumed: enter the rate published for your situation and it is applied as a separate, simplified estimate.
School-district income tax depends on residence
Some Ohio school districts levy an income tax, and it depends on the district where you live rather than where you work. If your district has no such tax, leave the rate at zero. Because traditional and earned-income district bases differ, the optional figure here is a simplified estimate of the rate applied to your Ohio wages.
Confirm your local rates
Look up your municipality and school district in the official Ohio Taxation Finder, then enter those rates. Both optional local calculations are simplified estimates: confirm the correct withholding with your employer or your local tax authority before relying on the numbers.
Why your actual paycheck can differ
Employers round differently, may withhold for a work-location municipality as well as a residence one, and deduct benefits, garnishments or after-tax items this estimate does not know about. Mid-year pay changes, multiple jobs and supplemental payments shift withholding too. Withholding is a prepayment: your Ohio liability is settled on your annual return.

Ohio paycheck questions
What the Ohio estimate includes, which official schedules it uses, and what it deliberately leaves out.
How does Ohio calculate paycheck withholding for 2026?
Ohio employers use the percentage method effective August 1, 2026. The exemption amount for your pay frequency is subtracted from the wages for the period, then bands of 1.600%, 2.990% and 3.400% are applied, and any additional Ohio withholding you requested on Form IT 4 is added.
What do Ohio exemptions do?
Each exemption claimed on your Ohio Form IT 4 reduces the wages taxed in a pay period by $12.50 weekly, $25.00 biweekly, $27.08 semimonthly or $54.17 monthly. Enough exemptions can reduce Ohio taxable wages for the period to zero, in which case no Ohio tax is withheld.
Why did Ohio withholding change on August 1, 2026?
The Ohio Department of Taxation issued revised employer withholding tables effective August 1, 2026. This calculator uses those tables, so paychecks issued earlier in 2026 under the previous tables will not match these figures.
Which municipal income-tax rate should I enter?
Municipal income tax generally depends on the municipality where you work, and residence rules or a credit for tax paid to the work city may apply. Rates differ by city, so look yours up in the Ohio Taxation Finder rather than assuming a single statewide rate exists.
Do I owe an Ohio school-district income tax?
Only if the school district where you live levies one. Check your district in the Ohio Taxation Finder and enter the rate if it applies; otherwise leave it at zero. The optional estimate here is simplified, so confirm the amount with your employer or local tax authority.
