Ohio's municipal income taxes: some 600 cities and villages tax wages, most of them between 1% and 2.5%, from the very first dollar — no standard deduction, no personal exemption. The verified rates for Ohio's largest cities, priced on your wages.
Collection runs through the city itself, RITA (the Regional Income Tax Agency) or CCA depending on the city — the rate is the same either way. School-district income taxes (a separate Ohio levy in ~200 districts) are not included.
At 2.5% on wages — Ohio cities tax gross qualifying wages with no deduction.
If you work in one taxed city and live in another, you generally owe the work city in full and your home city whatever remains after its credit — anywhere from full credit (you owe home nothing extra) to no credit (both in full). Columbus residents working in Columbus have one layer; a suburban resident commuting in may have two partial ones. Check your home city's credit rule before treating this page's figure as your whole local bill.
Ohio's municipal tax (under the uniform Chapter 718 rules) applies to qualifying wages from the first dollar for most cities; a few exempt the first small amount or minors' wages, but the standard model — used here — is the flat rate on wages.
Since the pandemic-era rules settled, Ohio generally taxes wages where the work is performed, with refund claims for days worked outside the city — a filing detail beyond this estimator.
Possibly — hundreds of villages levy 1–2%. The list here covers the verified large cities; your village rate is in its ordinance and on RITA's/CCA's listings.
