Quick answer

Yes. Springfield, the Clark County seat, levies a 2% municipal income tax on resident wages, administered through RITA. At $85,000 single, a Springfield resident takes home $65,306 after federal tax, FICA, Ohio's progressive state tax, and the Springfield local line. The city sits on the I-70 corridor between Columbus and Dayton.

Springfield is the Clark County seat in west-central Ohio, sitting on the I-70 corridor roughly halfway between Columbus and Dayton. The city levies a 2% municipal income tax on resident wages, administered through the Regional Income Tax Agency. Wittenberg University, a small liberal-arts college dating to 1845, anchors the local higher-education and downtown footprint. Manufacturing remains a meaningful employer: Springfield sits inside the broader Ohio auto-supply corridor that feeds the Honda Anna Engine Plant in nearby Shelby County and the Honda Marysville Auto Plant farther north, with multiple suppliers operating within Clark County. Recent Haitian immigration has reshaped the local population since the early 2020s: estimates place the Haitian-born and Haitian-American community in the tens of thousands, drawn primarily by manufacturing employment and Temporary Protected Status. Local schools and healthcare providers have expanded to serve the growing population. Ohio runs no payroll-funded state disability insurance program. At $85,000 for a single Springfield resident, federal income tax is $9,870, Ohio state tax is $1,621, FICA combined is $6,503, and the Springfield line is $1,700, leaving take-home of $65,306. Toggle the calculator above between single and married filing jointly to see how the Springfield municipal stack shifts per filing status.

Springfield, Ohio paycheck FAQ

What is the federal tax bill on $85,000 single in Springfield?
Federal income tax on $85,000 single resolves to $9,870 after the standard deduction is applied, with the top slice in the 22% bracket. The federal calculation runs identically across all US states, so a Springfield single filer sees the same federal line as a Dayton or Columbus counterpart on the same gross.
How is Springfield's municipal income tax structured?
Springfield's 2% municipal income tax is administered through the Regional Income Tax Agency, which processes withholding and refunds for many smaller Ohio cities. The rate is set by Springfield, not RITA. At $85,000 the Springfield line resolves to $1,700 on the year. The rate matches Lorain and Hamilton at the standard mid-tier OH level.
What if I live in Springfield but work in Dayton?
A Springfield resident commuting west to a Dayton job pays Dayton's higher municipal rate at the source, withheld by the employer. Ohio's residence-credit rule then offsets the Springfield liability up to Springfield's 2% cap, so the resident effectively pays the Dayton rate with the Springfield line zeroed out for those wages.
How does Ohio's state tax stack with the Springfield city layer?
Ohio's progressive state income tax tops near 2.75% on the highest incomes and layers on top of Springfield's municipal rate. State-and-local tax at $85,000 totals $1,621 state plus $1,700 city. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce federal and Ohio state taxable income but typically not the Springfield municipal base.
What changes for married filing jointly, head of household, or filing separately at $85,000 in Springfield?
A joint filer at $85,000 keeps about $69,336, $4,030 more the single-filer figure. Wider federal MFJ brackets and the doubled federal standard deduction drive most of the change. Ohio's bracket schedule and Springfield's 2% city tax both apply filing-status-neutral, scaling per worker rather than per household. Head of Household lifts take-home to about $68,228, around $2,922 more than Single, and combined MFS take-home runs about $4,030 less than MFJ.
How does Springfield compare to Dayton?
Dayton, twenty-five miles southwest along I-70, levies a slightly higher municipal rate than Springfield's 2%. A move between the two cities changes the city line at the source but leaves Ohio state tax, federal tax, and FICA identical. The two cities share I-70 logistics and overlapping labor markets in the auto-supply corridor.
