Open RSU Tax Calculator →RSU vesting in Ohio triggers a flat 2.75% state income tax, treated as ordinary income just like your salary. Your employer typically sells shares at vesting to cover the combined federal, state, and FICA withholding, which can consume 35-50% of the vested shares depending on your income level. Local taxes in some Ohio areas increase the sell-to-cover percentage further. This calculator shows you exactly how many shares (or dollars) you keep after all Ohio tax layers are applied.
Ohio levies a flat 2.75% state income tax on all taxable income regardless of how much you earn. This makes tax planning straightforward: for every additional dollar you earn, 2.75 cents goes to Ohio. However, certain localities in Ohio impose their own income taxes, which effectively raise the combined state and local rate above 2.75%. Be sure to check whether your city or county adds a local income tax.
The table below shows what you actually keep at five salary levels in Ohio, accounting for federal tax, FICA, and Ohio's flat 2.75% state tax plus estimated local taxes.
