How Oregon paychecks work (2026)
In Oregon, your take-home pay is your salary minus federal income tax, FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%) and Oregon state income tax. This calculator uses the official 2026 rates for a single filer.
Oregon state income tax
Oregon has a progressive income tax from 4.75% to 9.9%, with only a small $2,910 standard deduction (single) — so most income is taxed at 8.75%. Oregon has no sales tax.
Example: $80,000 in Oregon
Federal tax is about $8,770, FICA $6,120, and Oregon state tax about $6,426 — leaving a take-home of roughly $58,684 a year (before the federal-tax subtraction, which would raise it slightly).

What often catches people out in Oregon
- Oregon has no sales tax, which partly explains its high income tax (up to 9.9%).
- You can subtract some of the federal tax you paid (capped ~$8,250), which lowers your real Oregon tax below the headline — this tool doesn't apply that, so treat its figure as slightly high.
- The Portland metro area adds local taxes (SHS, Metro) on higher incomes.
What this calculator does not include
- Local/city taxes (some local transit taxes), 401(k) and pre-tax deductions, and filing statuses other than single.
- It shows tax liability, which can differ from paycheck withholding (employers often over-withhold).
