Calculate what you owe using the 2.972-percent rate, which the state of Ohio stipulates is to be applied to incomes ranging from about $10,000 to $15,000.

Step

Use the fourth-bracket rate of 3.715 percent if your taxable income is approximately $15,000 to $20,000.

Step

Fall into the 4.457-percent bracket if you made more than approximately $20,000, but less than $40,000, in taxable earnings.

Step

Get taxed at the 5.201-percent rate if you made under approximately $80,000, but at least $40,000.

Step

Pay up at the higher rate of 5.943 percent if you earned approximately $80,000 to $100,000.

Step

Apply the second-highest tax rate, 6.9 percent, to incomes of approximately $100,000 to $200,000.

Step

Take the 7.5-percent tax hit if you fall into the highest tax bracket: approximately $200,000 and up.

Figure Your Ohio State Income Taxes

Step

Figure out your total income, using money earned through employment, business ventures, capital gains, inheritances, winnings, grants and anything else that is considered personal income. The company you work for will provide you with a W-2 statement at tax time.

Step

Calculate the sum of your tax deductions. Get professional help if you have trouble navigating the complex seas of personal tax deduction regulations.

Step

Find your total taxable income by subtracting your deductions from your income.

Step

Apply the appropriate tax rate to the income you earned. For example, suppose you made a total of $38,500 in taxable income. This puts you in the 4.457-percent bracket, meaning you would have to pay about $1,700 in state income tax.
