What this calculator includes, and what it doesn't

It subtracts federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Ohio income tax from your gross pay, using the 2026 rules shown on this page. It shows the tax you will owe for the year, spread evenly over your paychecks.

Local income tax is on the local pages. This state calculator leaves it out; pick your city or county below for a calculator that includes it.
Dependents and credits are not modeled. The child tax credit, earned income credit and dependent exemptions would lower the tax for many families.
Married filing jointly assumes one earner. If your spouse also works, your household will usually owe more than this shows. Head of household status is not offered yet, because its 2026 state values have only one source so far.
Withholding can differ by a few dollars. Employers withhold using IRS Publication 15-T and the state's withholding tables, plus your W-4. The difference settles when you file.
Not included: itemized deductions, income other than wages, Roth or after-tax deductions, and bonuses taxed at supplemental rates.

Ohio note: Ohio has not separately published its 2026 personal exemption amounts; the amounts shown are the latest published ones. Ohio cities and school districts also levy income taxes; this state calculator leaves them out, and the city and county pages below include them.
