Oregon Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Oregon's state income tax is progressive, with brackets running up to a top marginal rate of 9.9%. Two additional local taxes apply in the Portland area: Multnomah County's Preschool for All Tax, which kicks in at higher income thresholds, and Portland Metro's Supportive Housing Services Tax, which applies regionally above similar income thresholds. The state does not run a traditional State Disability Insurance program, but Oregon Paid Leave is a small separate payroll deduction. Outside the Portland metro area, most Oregon residents see only federal tax, FICA, state income tax, and Paid Leave on their paychecks. This calculator estimates 2026 Oregon take-home pay with support for state brackets, Multnomah County PFA, Portland Metro SHS, and pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions. Filing status options include single and married filing jointly.

vs. baseline ($85,000 single filer)

A $85,000 salary in Oregon takes home approximately $6,700 less than the same salary in a no-income-tax state like Texas or Florida.

Oregon paycheck FAQ

Why is Oregon's top tax bracket so high?
Oregon funds the majority of its state operations through personal income tax because the state has no general sales tax. To make the income tax carry that load, Oregon runs a progressive bracket structure topping out at 9.9% on the highest incomes. Most wage earners pay rates between 4.75% and 8.75% on the bulk of their income.
What are Multnomah County and Portland Metro extra taxes, and who pays them?
Multnomah County levies the Preschool for All (PFA) Tax on high-income residents within the county. Portland Metro runs the Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Tax across the broader Portland metro area, also on high-income residents. Both kick in above six-figure income thresholds, so a typical middle-income Portland resident does not owe either; a high-earning resident in the metro often owes both.
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. The calculator surfaces the deduction as a separate line.
Why is Portland take-home so much lower than the rest of Oregon?
A Portland resident inside Multnomah County and the Portland Metro service area may owe state income tax, Multnomah PFA, and Portland Metro SHS once income crosses the relevant thresholds. None of those local taxes apply outside the metro area. A higher earner in Portland can see 11% to 13% of gross going to state plus local income tax, versus 8% to 9% for the same salary in a non-metro Oregon ZIP code.
How does Oregon compare to Washington for paycheck taxes?
Washington does not tax wage income, so the visible withholding for a Washington resident is federal tax and FICA only. Oregon adds a progressive state income tax up to 9.9%, plus Multnomah and Portland Metro layers in those jurisdictions. On a paycheck-only basis, Washington is meaningfully higher take-home for the same gross salary.
