Oregon tax notes
Oregon has high rates: 4.75% to 9.9%. Workers also pay Paid Leave Oregon and the 0.1% statewide transit tax. Some Portland-area residents owe extra local taxes.
How your Oregon paycheck is calculated
- Gross pay = hourly rate × hours per week × 52, divided by your number of paychecks.
- Pre-tax deductions (401(k) and health insurance) are taken out before income tax. Health insurance also lowers Social Security and Medicare.
- Federal income tax uses the current brackets after the standard deduction for your filing status.
- Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high earnings).
- Oregon taxes — see the state notes above.
