How Oregon taxes your paycheck in 2026
Oregon uses a graduated income tax with 4 brackets, from 4.75% at the bottom to 9.9% at the top, applied after a $2,910 single-filer deduction/exemption.
Federal deductions are the same everywhere: income tax on your wages after the $16,100 standard deduction (single filers), 6.2% Social Security on the first $184,500 of wages, and 1.45% Medicare on everything. The Portland metro area adds local taxes for high earners and a transit payroll tax.
Oregon's income tax, in context
Oregon has no sales tax and leans hard on income tax instead: four brackets from 4.75% to 9.9%, with the 8.75% bracket reached at a modest income. That structure gives Oregon one of the lowest take-home figures on a $75,000 salary of any state. The Portland metro area adds its own taxes on higher earners and a transit payroll tax.
