2026 Tax Tables
Ohio consolidated its withholding brackets down to a single flat rate for 2026: 0% on the first $26,050 of annual wages, then 2.7% on everything above. The IT-4 personal exemption reduces annual wages by $2,350 per allowance claimed. Ohio brackets do not vary by filing status. Most Ohio cities also impose local income tax collected by RITA, CCA, or individual municipalities — those local taxes are NOT calculated by this tool.
