Oregon Paycheck Calculator 2026
Oregon has no sales tax, and its income tax does the heavy lifting instead: rates run 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75% and 9.9%, with the 8.75% bracket starting at just $11,400 of taxable income (single). The standard deduction is small — $2,910 single / $5,820 married — so Oregon takes a bigger bite of a typical paycheck than almost any other state.
Portland-area workers can also owe local levies (transit, arts, and high-earner taxes) that aren't modeled here. The calculator below applies 2026 federal brackets, FICA and Oregon's schedule after the deduction.
The result is an annual 2026 tax-liability estimate apportioned across the pay frequency you choose. It does not reproduce employer withholding from your Form W-4.

Oregon income tax in 2026, briefly
Oregon uses graduated brackets, so income within higher bands is taxed at higher marginal rates. Married filing is offered only where the data contains an explicit married schedule.
Figures use 2026 rates and are estimates for planning — not tax advice.
Oregon take-home pay by salary (2026)
Planning estimates across common annual salaries in Oregon. Figures assume a single filer with no 401(k) or other entered deductions. Contributing pre-tax can reduce income tax but also reduces current take-home cash, so it does not automatically increase net pay.

Oregon local income tax rates
Oregon layers several small local taxes on wages: a statewide transit tax of 0.1%, TriMet and Lane Transit payroll taxes in the Portland and Eugene areas, and — for higher earners in the Portland metro — the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax and Multnomah County Preschool for All tax, which apply only above income thresholds.
| Jurisdiction | Resident rate | Non-resident rate |
|---|---|---|
| Statewide transit tax (all wages) | 0.1% | same |
| Portland metro (Metro SHS, above threshold) | 1% | same |
| Multnomah County (Preschool for All, above threshold) | 1.5% | same |
Representative published rates for the largest Oregon jurisdictions, applied to gross wages. Local rates are set locally and change on their own timetable — confirm yours with Oregon Department of Revenue — transit and local taxes. The calculator above accepts any rate, so an unlisted locality can still be modeled.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Oregon have a state income tax?
- Yes. Oregon uses a progressive state income tax with rates that rise across income brackets. Oregon has no sales tax but relatively high income tax; some localities add transit taxes.
- Does Oregon have a local income tax?
- Yes. Oregon localities levy a local transit and county taxes of roughly 0.1%–3%, applied to gross wages. Oregon layers several small local taxes on wages: a statewide transit tax of 0.1%, TriMet and Lane Transit payroll taxes in the Portland and Eugene areas, and — for higher earners in the Portland metro — the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax and Multnomah County Preschool for All tax, which apply only above income thresholds. Enter your own rate in the calculator above to fold it into the estimate.
- How much is taken out of my paycheck in Oregon?
- Pay is reduced by federal income tax, FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare), Oregon state income tax, any local transit and county taxes, and voluntary deductions such as a 401(k). Enter a salary and pay frequency above for the full breakdown.
- Why is Oregon withholding so high?
- Two reasons: the 8.75% marginal rate starts at only $11,400 of taxable income for a single filer, and the standard deduction is under $3,000. Oregon offsets it with no state sales tax — you keep more at the register but less in the paycheck.
- Are there extra taxes in Portland?
- The Portland metro area layers on several local taxes — a transit payroll tax paid by employers, plus arts and high-earner income taxes for some residents. They vary by address and income and are not included in this calculator's estimate.
- Is this the amount an employer will withhold in Oregon?
- No. This tool estimates annual federal and state income-tax liability and employee payroll taxes, then divides the annual result by the number of periods you select. Employer withholding uses pay-period wages, Form W-4 details, state forms and payroll rounding.
- How is this estimate calculated?
- We estimate annual federal income-tax liability from 2026 brackets and the standard deduction, employee Social Security and Medicare taxes including Additional Medicare Tax where applicable, the available state schedule, any local rate you enter, and the cash effect of entered deductions. Credits and a full Form W-4 are excluded.
- How reliable is this Oregon paycheck estimate?
- It is a planning scenario, not a payroll prediction. It does not model credits, every benefit rule, work/residence-state interactions, year-to-date withholding or all state payroll programs. Your pay stub and filed return are the relevant records.
