Modelled metroCost of living in Toledo: $2,414 leftover
Cost of living in Toledo, as leftover, is $2,414 a month for one adult, renting a 1-bedroom on local pay — take-home after tax minus rent of $953 and the rest of the modelled month. A price index would say non-housing costs sit near the US average (index 0.94). Ohio taxes wage income on a bracket schedule, plus a 2.00% city wage tax. Toledo is a modelled metro: rent, wages and prices come from Zillow, Census and BEA, not a hand-written city essay.
