How your Ohio paycheck is calculated

Gross pay: your salary divided by pay periods, or hourly rate × hours (overtime at 1.5× for hours over 40 a week).
Pre-tax deductions: 401(k) and pre-tax health insurance lower your taxable wages.
Federal income tax: the 2026 IRS brackets after the standard deduction.
FICA: Social Security 6.2% and Medicare 1.45%.
Ohio tax: applied to your wages after Ohio's own deductions.
Net pay = gross pay − taxes − deductions.
