Oregon Paycheck Calculator
From gross salary to the number that actually hits your bank account
Oregon imposes a progressive state income tax with four brackets: 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9%. For most middle-income earners — roughly anyone making between $11,050 and $125,000 as a single filer — the majority of taxable income falls in the 8.75% bracket. This makes Oregon one of the heavier income-tax states in the country, even though residents enjoy zero sales tax.
On top of state income tax, Oregon workers also pay federal income tax (10%–37% depending on income), Social Security tax (6.2%), and Medicare tax (1.45%) — the same FICA deductions as every other state. Oregon does not have an additional payroll tax beyond FICA and state income tax at the state level, though Portland-area residents may also owe the Metro Supportive Housing Services income tax and the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax if they live in those jurisdictions.
Worked example — $75,000 salary, single filer, standard deduction:
- Oregon taxable income: $75,000 − $2,835 standard deduction = $72,165
- State tax: 4.75% on $0–$4,400 + 6.75% on $4,401–$11,050 + 8.75% on $11,051–$72,165 ≈ $6,005
- Effective Oregon state rate: ≈ 8.0%
- FICA (7.65%): ≈ $5,738
- Federal income tax (approx.): ≈ $10,000–$11,000
- Estimated take-home: approximately $52,000–$54,000/year (≈ $4,300–$4,500/month)

Practical example — Oregon
A single Oregonian earning $75,000/year takes home approximately $52,500–$54,000 after federal income tax, Oregon state income tax (~$6,005), and FICA — compared to roughly $58,000–$60,000 in a no-income-tax state like Texas.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Does Oregon have a state income tax?
Yes. Oregon has a progressive state income tax with four rates: 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9%. The 9.9% top rate kicks in above $125,000 for single filers ($250,000 for married filing jointly), making it one of the highest top marginal state income tax rates in the U.S.
How much state income tax is taken out of a paycheck in Oregon?
For a single filer earning $75,000, the effective Oregon state income tax rate is approximately 8.0% after the standard deduction, resulting in roughly $6,000 in annual state tax withheld — about $500 per month.
Is Oregon a high-tax state for workers?
Oregon is considered high-tax on income but zero-tax on purchases. The 8.75% marginal bracket applies to most of a middle-income earner's wages, and the combined burden of federal + state + FICA taxes on a $75k salary typically leaves workers with around 70–72% of gross pay.
Are there any local income taxes in Oregon?
Oregon itself does not have a statewide local income tax, but residents in the Portland metro area may owe additional taxes: the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax (1% above $125k single / $200k joint) and the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax (1.5%–3% above certain thresholds). These are not withheld automatically by all employers.
How does Oregon compare to no-income-tax states like Washington or Nevada?
A single filer earning $75,000 in Oregon pays roughly $6,000 more per year in state income taxes compared to living in Washington or Nevada (which have no state income tax). However, Oregonians save on sales tax — a trade-off that tends to favor lower-income households who spend more of their income on goods.
