How the rate is built
What Ohio actually charges
- The Department of Taxation's own rate map carries the figure in a footnote: "The current state rate is 5.75%."
- No Ohio county leaves it there. The same publication puts the total rate as of October 2025 between 6.50% and 8.00%, which makes the county add-on the difference between 0.75 and 2.25 points.
- The highest is 8.00% in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties — Cleveland and Columbus. The lowest, 6.50%, is in Butler, Lorain, Stark and Wayne.
- Fifty of the eighty-eight counties sit at exactly 7.25%, so that is the typical Ohio rate rather than the headline 5.75%.
- Some areas add a transit authority levy on top of the county figure, and the state notes those are not shown on the county map at all.
- Ohio also taxes wage income, on a withholding schedule that changed in the middle of 2026.

Common questions
Ohio sales tax, in plain terms
What is the sales tax rate in Ohio?
The Ohio state rate is 5.75%. Counties, cities and special districts add their own rate on top, so what you pay at the register is usually higher than the state rate alone.
How much is sales tax on $100 in Ohio?
At the 5.75% state rate, $100 becomes $105.75 — $5.75 of tax. Add your local rate in the calculator above for the figure you will actually be charged.
How do I work out the tax that is already inside a total?
Switch the calculator to "Take tax out of a total" and enter the amount on the receipt. It divides by one plus the rate rather than subtracting the rate, which is the part people usually get wrong — taking 7% off a total is not the same as the total being 7% tax.
Does this include Ohio city and county taxes?
Not automatically. Local rates are set by thousands of separate jurisdictions and change on their own schedules, so this calculator asks you for yours instead of guessing. Your receipt or your county revenue office has the exact figure.
