Ohio 2026: HB 96 (2025) made 2026 tax flat: no tax on nonbusiness taxable income up to $26,050, then $332 plus 2.75% of the excess. Modelled exactly as 2.75% from $13,977 (= $26,050 − $332 ÷ 2.75%) with no tax at or below $26,050. Exemptions are $2,400 each for MAGI up to $40k ($2,150 for $40k-$80k, $1,900 above $80k; none, and no joint filing credit, above $500k MAGI) - only the top amount is modelled. Mandatory municipal income taxes (commonly 1-2.5%+) and school district income taxes, the joint filing credit, the $20 exemption credit and the lump-sum/retirement credits are not modelled. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.

Is this the same as my employer's payroll calculation?+

It uses the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method that payroll software uses for federal withholding, and Ohio's 2026 tax rules (checked 2026-10-07). Your employer may round each step or use the state's own withholding tables, so expect small differences.

Is anything I enter saved or sent?+
