How Ohio taxes wages

Ohio applies a flat 2.8% rate to taxable wages. A flat rate means the percentage does not rise with income, but the dollar amount does: at $50,000 you pay about $1,375, at $100,000 about $2,750.

Federal tax applies everywhere

Whatever the state does, the federal side is identical. On $75,000 a single filer pays $7,670 of federal income tax after the $16,100 standard deduction, plus $5,738 in Social Security and Medicare.
