Pay after rent is median weekly pay × 52 ÷ 12 minus a 2-BR rent benchmark built from HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent areas, before taxes; it is not take-home pay, and the rent benchmark is not a prediction of what you will pay. Tax rates are 2026 figures from the Tax Foundation, not tax advice. Compact status per NCSBN.

The build of an Ohio travel package
The weekly rate on an Ohio contract is a package, not a flat wage: a taxed hourly base set next to non-taxable housing and meal stipends. With moderate living costs statewide, how the two are weighted sets your take-home.
Hourly base, the wage portion of the rate
Housing stipend, a weekly housing allowance
Meals & incidentals, a daily meals allowance
The actual mix varies by contract, agency, and location.
What remains of Ohio pay after rent
Ohio keeps cost of living below the national average in every major market, housing included, which is its steady advantage for travelers. The state income tax is modest and easily absorbed, so a competitive weekly rate holds its value better here than in most of the country. Each city page breaks that down against local rent and everyday costs.

Ohio salary questions, answered
What makes Ohio unusual for travel nurses?
Its even spread. Demand splits across three large metros, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, with Toledo, Dayton, and Akron adding steady volume, so you're not locked to one dominant market the way you are in many states. That gives narrower specialties more simultaneous options. Compare all three metros when you shop, since each runs its own systems and pay range.
Does my compact license cover Ohio?
Yes. Ohio participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a home-state multistate license authorizes practice with nothing further to file, and facility credentialing becomes the pacing item instead. Nurses licensed in non-compact states need Ohio endorsement, which is worth beginning before contract shopping so the license is ready when the right unit posts in the metro you want.
How does Ohio tax a travel package?
Modestly. Ohio levies a state income tax on the taxable base, while housing and meal allowances remain untaxed with a tax home elsewhere. The rate is relatively low, and most Ohio markets sit under the national average on living costs, so what the tax takes, cheap rent tends to give back. Net pay here often matches no-tax states that carry pricier housing.
Which systems will I see in each Ohio metro?
Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals in Cleveland; OhioHealth and Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center in Columbus; UC Health and Cincinnati Children's in Cincinnati, with Mercy Health running statewide. Advantis staffs travelers in all three metros. Each city pairs an academic center with large community networks, so you can usually choose your acuity level without changing markets or starting a new housing search.
Is Ohio a good state for a first assignment?
A reasonable one. Three sizeable markets mean more unit choices for a given specialty, compact licensing removes paperwork friction, and below-average living costs lower the stakes of a first housing decision. The academic centers run high acuity, so first-timers often start at the community hospitals and step up on a later contract. Screen the unit's float and ratio expectations in the interview.
