Dayton City Tax (OH) · −$44.00

This is the Dayton municipal income tax, where you work: 2.5% of your Medicare wages for the period (including your 401(k) contributions), with no exemptions. Your employer must withhold it because you work there, wherever you live. If you live in another city with a tax, that city may bill you the difference when you file.

The assumptions behind the estimate

Assumes you filed Form IT 4 with your personal exemptions: 1 if single or head of household, 2 if married filing jointly (you and your spouse, when not claimed separately). No dependents and no extra withholding. Ohio uses the same table for every filing status; uses the tables effective August 1, 2026. Municipal tax: withheld for the place where you do your work, at its full rate, on your Medicare wages (which include your 401(k) contributions); assumes all your work is done in that place and that you are 18 or older. School district tax: withheld based on the district where you live; in traditional-base districts the same Form IT 4 exemptions as the state tax are subtracted (1 if single or head of household, 2 if married filing jointly), and in earned-income-base districts the rate applies to all wages. Rates in effect on October 7, 2026.

What is not included

Does not include the tax of the city where you live when it differs from where you work: Ohio law does not require your employer to withhold it (only if you ask), so you normally pay it yourself when you file, less whatever credit your city gives for tax paid where you work; each city sets that credit and the state does not publish a table. Also not considered: work split across several cities or done from home, the 20-day rule for occasional work in another city, the under-18 exemptions some cities grant, or people who live inside a JEDD/JEDZ (it is only calculated for those who work in one).

Are there city or county taxes in Ohio?

Yes. In Ohio we calculate 1,034 cities, counties or districts with a local tax. Choose where you live and where you work in the calculator to include it.

Is overtime taxed more?

There is no special rate for overtime: it is added to your pay for the period and withholding is figured on the total, which is why the check grows less than you expect. From 2025 through 2028 you can deduct from federal income tax the extra half of your overtime (up to $12,500; $25,000 if married) if your income is under $150,000; it only lowers each paycheck's withholding if you entered it on your W-4.

How accurate is this paycheck calculator?

It uses the official 2026 withholding rules from the IRS and Ohio. It is still an estimate: your employer knows your W-4, your deductions and your year-to-date earnings. It is not tax or legal advice.
