Ohio Updates Withholding Tables

Ohio employees may may notice a small increase in your net paycheck in 4th quarter! Ohio is moving toward a flat income tax system under reforms enacted in House Bill 96. The legislation reduced and consolidated the state’s progressive income tax brackets, setting Ohio on a path where, by 2025, most taxpayers will pay the same rate. Lawmakers designed these changes to simplify compliance for individuals, lower overall rates, and make the state more competitive for businesses.

As part of this transition, the Ohio Department of Taxation has issued updated withholding tables effective for payrolls ending on or after Oct. 1, 2025.
