Open Bonus Tax Calculator →When you receive a bonus in Ohio, your employer typically withholds at the federal supplemental rate of 22%, plus Ohio's flat 2.75%, and FICA at 7.65%. Local income taxes in some parts of Ohio take an additional cut. The combined withholding can make bonuses feel heavily taxed, though your actual liability may differ from withholding at year-end. This calculator shows both the withholding and the true tax on your bonus in Ohio.
Ohio levies a flat 2.75% state income tax on all taxable income regardless of how much you earn. This makes tax planning straightforward: for every additional dollar you earn, 2.75 cents goes to Ohio. However, certain localities in Ohio impose their own income taxes, which effectively raise the combined state and local rate above 2.75%. Be sure to check whether your city or county adds a local income tax.
