How Oregon taxes your paycheck
Oregon has progressive income tax rates from 4.75% to 9.9% for tax year 2026, in 4 brackets. Before the rate applies, the calculator subtracts a standard deduction of $2,900 for single filers, $5,800 for married couples filing jointly and $4,650 for heads of household and a personal exemption credit of $260 ($520 for a married couple) that reduces the tax itself. The exemption credit is not available once income passes $100,000 for single filers, $200,000 for married couples and $200,000 for heads of household. The calculator applies this using your taxable wages as the income figure.
Traditional 401(k) contributions are excluded from Oregon taxable wages, and Section 125 health premiums are excluded.
Figures are from Oregon DOR Publication OR-ESTIMATE 2026: estimated indexed figures for tax year 2026 (tax year 2026).
Take-home pay examples in Oregon
A single filer earning $60,000 in Oregon, paid every two weeks, takes home about $1,768.92 per paycheck, or $45,992 a year. Of the $60,000, $5,020 goes to federal income tax, $4,590 to Social Security and Medicare, and $3,978 to Oregon income tax, plus $420 of state payroll contributions.
At $100,000, take-home pay is about $71,328 a year ($2,743.40 per paycheck), with $7,152 of Oregon income tax. A married couple filing jointly on one $100,000 salary keeps about $77,594, because of the larger standard deduction and wider brackets. The table below shows more salaries.
Oregon payroll contributions
Paid Leave Oregon employee contribution: 0.6% of wages up to $184,500 a year (tax year 2026; official source). This is deducted from your pay in addition to income tax and is included in the calculator.
Oregon Statewide Transit Tax: 0.1% of wages, with no wage cap (tax year 2026; official source). This is deducted from your pay in addition to income tax and is included in the calculator.
Local income taxes in Oregon
Metro Supportive Housing Services and Multnomah County Preschool for All impose personal income taxes. Portland also imposes an Arts Tax. Eugene imposes a Community Safety employee payroll tax. Local taxes are not included in the calculator, so subtract them separately if they apply to you.
Hourly pay in Oregon
A full-time worker earning $20 an hour (40 hours a week, $41,600 a year) in Oregon takes home about $1,259.74 every two weeks, or $629.87 a week on average, as a single filer. Oregon income tax takes $2,561 of that pay a year, an effective state rate of 6.157%. Choose Hourly wage in the calculator to enter your own rate and hours.
Oregon compared with neighboring states
On a $75,000 salary (single, no pre-tax deductions), take-home pay in Oregon is about $56,009 a year. It is higher in Nevada, Washington, Idaho and California. The comparison table below shows the difference in dollars. Where you live usually decides which state taxes your wages, but people who live in one state and work in another should check both states' rules on residency and credits.
What else to know about Oregon taxes
Oregon's 2026 figures come from the Department of Revenue's estimated indexed figures for tax year 2026 (Publication OR-ESTIMATE). Final figures appear in the 2026 Form OR-17 guide in early 2027; other DOR documents show a slightly different head-of-household deduction ($4,700).
Heads of household use the joint brackets with their own standard deduction.
Oregon lets you subtract the federal income tax you pay, up to $8,750 for 2026. The limit is reduced in steps between $125,000 and $145,000 of income for single filers ($250,000–$290,000 joint or head of household). The calculator applies the subtraction, smoothing those steps into a straight line.
The exemption credit is not available above $100,000 of income (single) or $200,000 (joint or head of household); this estimate applies that cutoff.
Paid Leave Oregon takes 0.6% of wages (60% of the 1% total), and the statewide transit tax takes 0.1%. A small Workers’ Benefit Fund charge of 0.9 cents per hour worked is not included.
Portland-area Metro and Multnomah County income taxes, the Portland Arts Tax and the Eugene payroll tax are not included.
What this estimate does not include
Tax credits, itemized deductions, other income, overtime, bonuses, local income taxes and post-tax deductions are not included, and actual withholding follows your Form W-4 and Oregon's own withholding rules. Use it as a planning estimate. For the method and the federal rules, see the main paycheck calculator.
