Youngstown Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Youngstown levies a 2.75% municipal income tax on wages, the highest standard rate among the Ohio cities this calculator covers. The tax is administered locally through the Youngstown Income Tax Department. Combined with Ohio's progressive state tax (top 3.5%), a Youngstown resident pays roughly 6.25% in state plus local income tax at higher income levels. Ohio's residence-credit rule applies for commuters who live in Youngstown and work in another Mahoning County jurisdiction. This calculator estimates 2026 take-home pay for a Youngstown resident after federal tax, FICA, Ohio state tax, and the Youngstown municipal rate. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA deductions.

Youngstown paycheck FAQ

Why is Youngstown's rate higher than Cleveland's?
Youngstown's 2.75% rate sits above the 2.5% used by Cleveland, Columbus, and Akron. Several smaller Ohio cities have raised rates over time to fund municipal services; Youngstown's rate reflects city-level revenue choices rather than a regional pattern.
How does Youngstown's combined burden compare to Pittsburgh, an hour east?
Youngstown sits in Ohio (state plus city ~6.25%); Pittsburgh sits in Pennsylvania (state plus combined wage tax ~6.07%). The two cities produce broadly similar total state-and-local burdens for resident wage earners, despite different tax structures.
Does Youngstown's residence credit work the same as Cleveland's?
Yes. Ohio's statewide residence-credit rule applies uniformly across municipalities. A Youngstown resident working in another Ohio city credits the work-city tax against Youngstown's liability up to Youngstown's 2.75% cap, with the rate difference owed to whichever city has the higher rate.
