Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Ohio Pay Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Income Details

Begin by providing your annual salary. Locate the input field labeled “Annual Salary” and enter your annual income as a number. Ensure that the amount is zero or above, as this field is marked required and only accepts non-negative numbers.

Step 2: Select Your Pay Frequency

Next, specify how often you receive your paycheck. Find the “Pay Frequency” dropdown menu and choose from one of the following options: Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Semi-Monthly, or Monthly. Each option corresponds to a specific pay period value (52 for Weekly, 26 for Bi-Weekly, 24 for Semi-Monthly, and 12 for Monthly). This selection is required for accurate calculations.

Step 3: Choose Your Filing Status

Identify your filing status by selecting it from the “Filing Status” dropdown. The options available are “Single” or “Married”. This selection will influence your tax calculations and is required to proceed.

Step 4: Enter Allowances

Provide the number of tax allowances you claim by entering a value in the “Allowances” field. The input must be a whole number without decimals, starting from zero upwards. This field is compulsory for determining your withholding amount.

Step 5: Review Your Pay Calculations

After submitting all the necessary input details, the calculator will process and display several result fields:

  • Gross Pay Per Period: Displays your gross earnings for each pay period before deductions.
  • Federal Tax: The estimated federal tax deduction based on your salary and filing status.
  • Ohio State Tax: Shows the calculated Ohio state tax deduction applicable to your salary.
  • Social Security: The social security tax deduction, considering the current cap on taxable wages.
  • Medicare: Displays the Medicare tax deduction according to your income.
  • Total Deductions: Summarizes all deductions including federal tax, state tax, social security, and Medicare.
  • Net Pay Per Period: Your take-home pay for each pay period after all deductions.
  • Annual Net Pay: Projects your total net income for the year after deductions.

By following these steps, you will accurately determine your expected pay and withholding at various intervals throughout the year.
