How Canton's local income tax works
Canton levies a flat 2.50% local income tax on top of Ohio's state income tax — the same piggyback mechanism used across this jurisdiction. Because the rate is flat, your local tax is simply your taxable income multiplied by 2.50%, regardless of how much you earn.
On $60,000, that's $1,500 a year; on $100,000, $2,500 a year. Canton's own separate tax-payment portal (cantonincometax.com) shows a stale/older 2% figure on one FAQ subpage; the city's primary cantonohio.gov domain confirms 2.5% (increased from 2.0% July 1, 2018), which is the current and authoritative figure.
Canton vs. Ohio state tax and neighboring jurisdictions
Ohio's own state income tax (separate from Canton's local tax) applies statewide; on a $100,000 salary that's about $2,034 a year before any local tax is added.
