Ohio vs Pennsylvania take-home pay

Both states tax wages, but with different schedules — Ohio’s progressive bands versus Pennsylvania’s flat rate. Municipal and school-district taxes are common on real stubs in both and are not modeled here, so treat the delta as state-level only.

At this salary, estimated annual net is $988.37 higher in Ohio.

Default scenario: $85,000.00 annual gross · single · tax year US-2026. Ohio: $67,006.37; Pennsylvania: $66,018.00.
