Oregon Take-Home Pay Calculator (2026)

Oregon has a graduated income tax with a top rate of 9.9%, which applies to income above $125,000 for single filers. For income between $17,400 and $125,000, the rate is 8.75%. Lower rates of 4.75% apply to the first $17,400. Oregon has among the highest state income tax rates in the country for middle and upper earners. A single worker earning $75,000 pays an effective Oregon state rate of roughly 7.5% to 8%.

Oregon has no statewide sales tax, one of only a handful of states without one. This significantly reduces the overall tax burden on consumption for Oregon workers. A household spending $50,000 per year on taxable goods avoids roughly $3,500 to $4,500 in sales taxes they would owe in a state with a 7% to 9% combined rate. For high earners who spend a moderate portion of income on goods, the income-to-consumption tax tradeoff generally still favors high-sales-tax states over Oregon, but for lower earners with high spending relative to income, the absence of sales tax provides meaningful relief.

Oregon has a statewide transit tax that applies to wages, currently at 0.1%. This small additional withholding appears on paystubs alongside income tax withholding. Portland also imposes a Multnomah County income tax and a Metro supportive housing services tax on higher earners. Portland residents earning above $125,000 can face additional local taxes of 1% to 3%, which pushes the combined effective rate above 10% for that group.

The standard deduction in Oregon is $2,420 for single filers, considerably lower than the federal $14,600. Oregon taxable income is therefore substantially higher than federal taxable income for most workers, which amplifies the impact of Oregon's already high marginal rates. After applying Oregon's standard deduction, a $75,000 earner has roughly $72,580 of Oregon taxable income.
