A $10,000 crypto gain realized in Ohio attracts about $275 in Ohio tax — a marginal rate of 2.75% — for someone otherwise earning the state median of $80,520. Federal capital-gains tax applies on top.

Ohio taxes capital gains as ordinary income, so the gain stacks on your other income and is taxed at the rate that band falls in. Figures use 2026 Ohio rules and 2026 federal rules, single filer. Holding period decides the federal rate.

Crypto capital-gains tax in Ohio

Ohio's income tax for 2026 leaves income up to $26,050 untaxed — the statute says plainly that no tax is imposed on a balance at or below that figure. Above it, tax is a fixed $332 plus 2.75% of the excess, the 3.125% top tier having been retired. So Ohio is only "flat" above the threshold, and the first dollar over it carries the whole $332.

Ohio taxes capital gains and crypto as ordinary income, under the same $26,050 exempt band and single 2.75% rate that applies to wages.

Common questions

How are crypto gains taxed in Ohio?
As ordinary income: this estimate stacks the gain on your other income and runs it through the same schedule as wages — a single 2.75% rate, above Ohio's $26,050 exempt band. Any Ohio exclusion or cap on long-term gains is not applied here.
How much Ohio tax would a $10,000 crypto gain cost?
About $275 of Ohio tax, on top of federal capital-gains tax. That is the gain stacked on Ohio's $80,520 median household income (2024), where it lands in the 2.75% band.
What Ohio rate applies to my gain?
2.75% on whatever part of the gain sits above Ohio's $26,050 exempt band, once the gain is added to your other income. Because there is only one rate, the size of the sale does not change the Ohio rate — only the federal one.

Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax advice. Crypto tax rules are complex and Ohio state treatment is simplified here — verify with the state Department of Revenue and a tax professional. This estimate does not model Ohio municipal income taxes (commonly 1%–2.5%) and school-district income taxes. Ohio's single-rate 2.75% schedule is applied to income with no state standard deduction or exemption subtracted, and no Ohio credits, subtractions, or income exclusions.
