A single filer earning Ohio's median household income of $80,520 owes about $1,830 in Ohio state income tax — an effective state rate of 2.27%. That is state tax only, on top of federal income tax and FICA.

Based on 2026 Ohio rules and 2026 federal rules, with the standard deduction and no other adjustments. Median income is the 2024 Census figure.

Income 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 income tax structure (2026)

Ohio uses 2 progressive brackets, with a fixed base amount of $332 once income passes $26,050. Single-filer brackets:

$0 – $26,0500%
over $26,0512.75%

Married-filing-jointly thresholds differ (roughly double in most states). Each slice of income is taxed at its own rate — landing in a bracket does not tax your whole income at that rate.

Common questions

What are Ohio's income tax brackets?
Ohio does not really use brackets for 2026: the first $26,050 of taxable income is untaxed, and everything above it is taxed at 2.75%. Taxable income here is your pay with no state standard deduction, so it reaches the first dollar of wages. The same thresholds apply to joint filers.
What is the top income tax rate in Ohio?
2.75%, and it begins at $26,050 of taxable income for a single filer, which is also $26,050 of gross pay because Ohio subtracts no standard deduction or exemption. Only income above that point is taxed at that rate; everything below it is exempt.
What is the tax bill on $80,520 in Ohio?
A single filer on Ohio's $80,520 median household income (2024 Census figure) owes roughly $1,830 to Ohio — an effective state rate of 2.3% against a 2.75% marginal bracket — plus about $8,884 of federal income tax.
Why does Ohio tax jump at $26,050?
Ohio's official table is not purely marginal: once taxable income passes $26,050, the tax is a fixed $332.00 plus the bracket rate on the excess. This calculator applies that $332.00 base, so the first dollar over the threshold carries it too.

Estimates for general informational purposes only; not tax advice. Ohio figures are simplified (credits, local taxes, and AGI adjustments vary) and should be verified with the state Department of Revenue. 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.
