Your wages & city

Municipal tax usually applies to W-2 wages (often Box 5 Medicare wages). This tool does not compute federal or Ohio state tax.

Ohio residents owe tax to their home city, with credits for tax paid elsewhere on annual returns.

Leave blank if you live and work in the same city. When they differ, payroll often withholds the higher resident or work rate.
