Portland, Oregon Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Portland, Oregon sits in the Portland Metro service area and Multnomah County, layering two distinct local taxes on top of Oregon's progressive state rate. The Multnomah County Preschool for All (PFA) Tax kicks in at $125,000 of taxable income for single filers, at 1.5% up to $250,000 and 3% above. The Portland Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Tax is a separate 1% surcharge on similar high-income thresholds across the broader metro. Below those thresholds, Portland residents pay Oregon's state rate alone, without local additions. This calculator estimates 2026 take-home pay for a Portland resident after federal tax, FICA, Oregon state tax, and the Multnomah County PFA. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA deductions.

Portland, Oregon paycheck FAQ

When does the Multnomah County PFA Tax apply?
The Preschool for All (PFA) Tax applies to taxable income above $125,000 for single filers ($200,000 for married filing jointly). At 1.5% up to $250,000 and 3% above that, it is a meaningful surcharge for high earners residing in Multnomah County. Below the $125,000 single threshold, the PFA does not apply.
What is the Portland Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Tax?
The SHS Tax is a separate 1% surcharge on income above similar thresholds (currently $125,000 single, $200,000 married). It funds Portland-area supportive housing services and applies regionally across the broader Portland Metro area, not just Multnomah County. The calculator embeds the Multnomah County PFA only; high earners in the Portland Metro area may also owe SHS.
Do Portland residents pay both Oregon state tax and the local Portland taxes?
Yes, at higher incomes. Oregon's state tax (progressive up to 9.9%) applies to all Oregon residents. The Multnomah PFA and Portland Metro SHS apply only above their respective income thresholds. At a $85,000 salary, a Portland resident pays Oregon state tax alone; at a $200,000 salary, both local taxes also apply.
Does Oregon have State Disability Insurance?
Not in the form California or New York use. Oregon Paid Leave is the closest equivalent, a small payroll deduction shared by employer and employee that funds family and medical leave.
