Ohio's income tax is graduated: 2 brackets running from 0% to 2.75%, the 40th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. A single filer's first $26,050 of taxable income is taxed at 0%, and everything above it at 2.75% — on top of whatever the state lets you deduct first. Married couples filing jointly are taxed on exactly the same bracket widths as a single filer, so a two-earner couple hits the top rate at the same income one person would — the schedule itself carries a marriage penalty. Ohio has no standard deduction, so a single filer subtracts a $2,400 personal exemption instead.

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ohio | 0% – 2.75% | $593 | $1,280 | $3,343 |

State income tax on a single filer, after each state’s own deductions. Federal tax is identical wherever you live, so the difference between these rows is the whole difference.
What these Ohio figures leave out
Recorded against Ohio in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- Ohio moved to a flat 2.75% on non-business income above $26,050 on 1 January 2026 under HB 96. The Department of Taxation's published rate table still stops at tax year 2025, whose schedule carried fixed dollar base amounts that this bracket model cannot represent, so the 2026 figures are cited to the Tax Foundation's compilation instead.
- Local income taxes are not included. Ohio municipalities levy income taxes of commonly 1–3%, and many school districts levy their own on top. For most Ohio filers that is a larger bill than the state tax shown here.
- Ohio has no standard deduction. The personal exemption steps down from $2,400 to $2,150 above $40,000 of modified AGI and to $1,900 above $80,000, and from 2026 is available only below $500,000; those steps are not modelled.
- Business income is taxed on its own schedule at a flat 3%.
