Salary Calculator FAQ

How do you convert hourly rate to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) for a standard full-time annual salary. Example: $30/hr × 2,080 = $62,400/yr. For overtime weeks, use: (40 hrs × rate) + (OT hrs × rate × 1.5) × number of weeks.

How many working hours are in a year?

Standard full-time: 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Minus 10 federal holidays (80 hrs): 2,000 paid hours. Minus 2 weeks vacation (80 hrs): 1,920 hours actually worked. BLS uses 2,080 for hourly-to-annual conversions. Turnaround and shutdown workers can exceed 3,000 hours/yr with heavy overtime.

What is time-and-a-half overtime?

Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Example: $30/hr base · regular week = $1,200 (40 hrs) · one 10-hr OT week = $1,200 + ($30 × 1.5 × 10) = $1,200 + $450 = $1,650. Double time (2×) is not federally required but common in petrochemical and union contracts.

Ohio Salaries

How Ohio salaries compare to the national market

Ohio trade wages run about 5% below the national median (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.95 Ohio wage index to national medians. A low cost of living offsets most of that gap, and the state income tax is now a flat 2.75% for 2026, one of the lowest in the Midwest. The catch is local: nearly every Ohio city adds a municipal income tax of 1% to 2.5% on wages, Columbus, Cleveland and Akron all charge 2.5%, so where you live and work changes your take-home more than in most states.

How much is the municipal income tax in Ohio?

It depends on the city. Most Ohio municipalities levy 1% to 2.5% on wages, withheld separately from state tax. Columbus, Cleveland and Akron all charge 2.5%; Cincinnati is 1.8%. Many cities give partial credit for tax paid to the city where you work, which matters for trades commuting between job sites. Ohio's The Finder tool gives the exact rate for any address.

What changed in Ohio's income tax for 2026?

Ohio finished a multi-year phase-down and now applies a single flat 2.75% rate to nonbusiness taxable income above $26,050, with income at or below that threshold owing nothing. In 2025 there were still two brackets, with a 3.125% rate above $100,000, so higher-earning trades keep slightly more of a 2026 paycheck.

How accurate is the Ohio benchmark in this calculator?

The calculator applies an Ohio wage index (0.95×) to national BLS OEWS medians, a reference estimate, not a quote. Ohio's industrial and union corridors around Cleveland and Toledo pay above the state figure while rural southeast Ohio runs below; for exact BLS state and metro medians with percentiles, use the Ohio salary guide.

What is the median trade salary in Ohio?

It varies by role: the Ohio electrician median is about $60,030, plumbers $60,610, HVAC technicians $57,960, and pipefitters $60,610 (BLS OEWS May 2025, Ohio-adjusted). Enter your own pay in the calculator to see your percentile against any role.

How is the Ohio wage index applied?

National BLS OEWS medians are multiplied by a 0.95 Ohio factor to localise them, reflecting that Ohio gross pay runs about 5% below the national average. Hourly figures assume 2,080 paid hours a year. It is a reference estimate, not an employer offer, and it does not net out municipal income tax.

Which Ohio metros pay trades the most?

Cleveland and Columbus lead, Cleveland on industrial, refinery and hospital work, Columbus on a data-center and warehouse construction boom that has tightened the skilled-trade market. Cincinnati tracks just above the state median, Dayton and Toledo slightly below, and rural Appalachian counties lowest.

Do Ohio trade wages include overtime?

The benchmark medians are base pay. Ohio follows the federal FLSA standard of 1.5× after 40 hours a week, and overtime is heavy on the large Columbus-area data-center and chip-plant projects. This calculator lets you add overtime hours at 1.5× (or 2×) to model total annual pay, note that overtime is also subject to your city's municipal tax.
