Ohio's flat income tax

Ohio taxes all taxable income at the same 2.75% rate, after a zero-rate band of the first $26,050. Because the rate doesn't rise with income, your state tax grows in a straight line with your pay. Your effective state rate is still lower than 2.75% because of deductions and exemptions.
