Ohio wage law in 2026, $11.00, a sales threshold and local taxes
Checked against Ohio agency and statute sources on 26 October 2026. Sources are listed at the end of this section.
| Minimum wage | $11.00 an hour at employers with annual gross receipts of $405,000 or more. Smaller employers and workers under 16 get the federal $7.25. |
|---|---|
| Tipped employees | $5.50 cash wage. |
| Next change | $11.40 ($5.70 tipped) on 1 January 2027; the gross receipts threshold rises to $419,000 (Ohio Department of Commerce, 30 September 2026). |
| Overtime | 1.5 times the wage rate after 40 hours a week, except at employers grossing less than $150,000 a year. No daily overtime. |
| Payday rule | Semi-monthly (US DOL payday table, Ohio Rev. Code 4113.15). |
| State income tax | Ohio’s latest published table (2025): 0% on nonbusiness income up to $26,050, then 2.75% to $100,000 and 3.125% above. |
| Local income taxes | Many cities levy a municipal income tax, and 210 school districts levy a school district income tax based on where the employee lives (Ohio Department of Taxation, January 2026). |
Ohio’s minimum wage comes from a 2006 constitutional amendment that indexes it to the CPI-W each year, and it applies by business size. Employers with gross receipts of $405,000 or more pay $11.00 an hour in 2026; smaller ones may pay the federal $7.25, as may any employer for 14- and 15-year-olds. On 30 September 2026 the Department of Commerce announced $11.40 for 2027, a 3.5% rise, with the size threshold moving to $419,000.
The bigger surprise on an Ohio paycheck is local tax. Many Ohio cities tax wages where the work is done, and 210 school districts tax the income of the people who live in them. The school district tax follows the employee’s home address, not the workplace, and is owed even by someone with no state income tax liability. Neither tax is in this calculator, so check both rates for your home and work addresses.
Worked paycheck for full time at the Ohio minimum wage
At $11.00 an hour a full-time year is $22,880. Paid semimonthly, each check covers about 86.67 hours.
| Gross pay, semimonthly ($11.00 × 86.67 hours) | $953.33 |
| Federal income tax (2026 brackets, standard deduction) | −$28.25 |
| Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) | −$72.93 |
| Ohio income tax, calculator estimate | −$21.45 |
| Take-home per paycheck | $830.70 |
| Take-home per year ($22,880 gross) | $19,937 |
The calculator applies a flat 2.25% estimate, $21.45 a check. On Ohio’s latest published table (2025), nonbusiness income up to $26,050 is taxed at 0%, so a full-time minimum-wage year owes no Ohio income tax. City and school district income taxes, which the table leaves out, can still apply.

Ohio payroll quirks to know
Things the calculator above does not capture, drawn from state revenue departments and official sources.
- Ohio's official schedule uses a base-plus-rate format: $342.00 plus 2.75% of income over $26,050, and $2,394.32 plus 3.125% of income over $100,000 (2025 Ohio IT 1040 instructions, page 18). The rates shown above are the marginal rates of that schedule.
- Ohio school district income tax (0.5%–2%) and municipal income tax (0.5%–3%) apply in most places, not modeled here.
- For 2026, the Ohio Department of Taxation's 2026 estimated-tax worksheet (IT 1040ES) prints the same brackets. Reports of a single 2.75% rate for 2026 under H.B. 96 could not be confirmed on an Ohio Department of Taxation page on 26 October 2026, so this page does not use them.
