What this calculator models for Ohio
Every figure above comes from a published Ohio document. These are the rules behind those figures that this calculator applies, approximates, or leaves out.
| Rule | In this calculator |
|---|---|
| Ohio builds its withholding tables on a construct that is not the annual tax bill, so your payslip and this page can differ by a small amount that settles when you file. | Approximated |
| Ohio lets an allowance it subtracts from income shrink as income rises rather than fixing it, and this calculator uses the figure that applies at the top of that slide. From $500,000 of income upward, the figure used here is the exact one. | Not modelled |
| Some school districts and counties in Ohio levy an income tax of their own on residents, and this calculator does not apply it. | Not modelled |
