How Oregon taxes your paycheck
Oregon uses progressive brackets from 4.75% to 9.9%, after a standard deduction of $2,910 (single) / $5,820 (married). Some Oregon cities or counties add a local income tax; enter that rate in the calculator if it applies to you. Federal tax paid is partly deductible (not modelled). Portland-area Metro and Multnomah County taxes apply above $125k; statewide transit tax 0.1% and Paid Leave Oregon 0.6% are separate.
Federal deductions are the same everywhere: income tax on earnings above the $16,100 standard deduction (single) using the 2026 brackets, 6.2% Social Security on the first $184,500, and 1.45% Medicare on everything.
