How the math works
- Federal: subtract the 2026 standard deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 joint) and any 401(k), then apply IRS brackets.
- FICA: 6.2% Social Security up to the $176,100 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare (0.9% extra above $200k).
- Ohio: Ohio's 2025–2026 reform made income over $26,050 subject to a flat 2.75%, but municipal income taxes of 1.5%–3% often cost more than the state tax.
- Not included: city/county tax, tax credits other than dependents, health premiums.
