Oregon Paycheck Calculator 2026

An Oregon paycheck loses ground to four mandatory items before the net figure lands in your account. Three are federal: income tax set by your W-4, Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base, and Medicare at 1.45% on every dollar with no ceiling. The fourth is Oregon's own income tax, a graduated levy that climbs to a top marginal rate of 9.9% on high earnings. Together these shape why gross and take-home pay can diverge sharply, especially for salaried workers near the top bracket.

Oregon also runs Paid Leave Oregon, so a contribution of 0.6% of wages appears on most stubs alongside the tax lines, together with the statewide transit tax of 0.1% (one dollar per $1,000 of wages, no cap). The state collects no disability insurance premium because it operates no SDI fund. Pre-tax choices change the math: money routed into a 401(k), up to the $24,500 deferral limit, or into health premiums lowers the wages both the IRS and the Oregon Department of Revenue tax, though Social Security and Medicare are still figured on gross.

On a $60,000 salary, Oregon's graduated income tax, topping out at 9.9%, comes to about $3,974 a year for a single filer after the state's own deductions and exemptions — on top of $4,590 in federal FICA, which is the same in every state. 36 of the 42 states that tax income have a lower top rate than Oregon's 9.9%.

The state minimum wage is $15.55/hr , above the federal $7.25 floor — about $32,344 a year at 40 hours a week. Oregon also withholds for paid family leave, which most states do not. Local jurisdictions add their own layer on top — see the note below.
