Elyria Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Elyria is the county seat of Lorain County and levies a 2.25% municipal income tax on wages. The tax is administered through the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA). Combined with Ohio's progressive state tax (top 3.5%), an Elyria resident pays roughly 5.75% in state plus local income tax at higher income levels. Ohio's residence-credit rule applies for commuters between Elyria and adjacent cities like Lorain or Cleveland. This calculator estimates 2026 take-home pay for an Elyria resident after federal tax, FICA, Ohio state tax, and the Elyria municipal rate. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA deductions.

Elyria paycheck FAQ

How does Elyria's rate compare to Lorain, the adjacent city?
Elyria's 2.25% is slightly above Lorain's 2%. The two cities sit immediately adjacent in Lorain County, and the rate gap produces small but measurable resident-to-resident differences on similar gross incomes.
If I commute from Elyria to Cleveland, what do I owe?
Cleveland's 2.5% rate is above Elyria's 2.25%. An Elyria resident working in Cleveland pays Cleveland's 2.5% on those wages and owes Elyria nothing additional, since the residence credit fully offsets the Elyria line.
Does Elyria have a separate school district income tax?
Some Ohio school districts levy a school district income tax separately from city tax. The Elyria City School District does not currently impose a broad-based school district income tax; the 2.25% figure here is the city municipal tax only.
