Single filer, paid biweekly, standard W-4, no pre-tax deductions.

Oregon withholds on brackets of 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9% for 2026, after subtracting up to $8,750 of federal tax withheld and a $2,910 standard deduction ($5,820 married), with a $263 credit per allowance. Two payroll premiums come out as well: the 0.1% statewide transit tax and 0.6% for Paid Leave Oregon. Figures follow IRS Publication 15-T and the Oregon Department of Revenue withholding formulas (150-206-436, 2026).

How Oregon paycheck taxes work

An Oregon paycheck carries five withholdings: federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500), Medicare (1.45%), Oregon income tax, and two small state payroll lines, the statewide transit tax and your share of Paid Leave Oregon. Oregon has no general local wage tax, though higher earners in the Portland area may see Metro and Multnomah County income taxes, which this calculator leaves out.

The Department of Revenue formula starts with annual wages, subtracts the federal income tax withheld from you (capped at $8,750, with the cap shrinking to zero between $125,000 and $145,000 of wages single, $250,000 and $290,000 married), then subtracts a standard deduction of $2,910 single or head of household, $5,820 married. The remainder runs through 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9% brackets, and $263 comes off the tax for each allowance on your OR-W-4 until wages pass $100,000 single or $200,000 married.

Because federal withholding feeds the Oregon formula, a bigger 401(k) contribution or a W-4 change moves your Oregon withholding too. The DOR publishes two sets of constants, one for wages under $50,000 and one for $50,000 and over, which is why the rate table below shows two schedules; both are reproduced as published. The transit tax takes 0.1% of every dollar with no cap. Paid Leave Oregon costs 1% of wages up to $184,500, split 60/40, so 0.6% is yours.

Bonuses paid separately are withheld at a flat 8%, which is also the rate applied when no OR-W-4 is on file. Oregon has no reciprocity agreements. For 2026 the standard deduction rose from $2,835 / $5,670 to $2,910 / $5,820, the per-allowance credit from $256 to $263, and the federal tax cap from $8,500 to $8,750; rates were unchanged. Voters rejected Measure 120 in May 2026, so the transit tax stays at 0.1%.

Oregon paycheck FAQ

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Oregon?

Federal income tax, Social Security at 6.2%, Medicare at 1.45%, Oregon income tax on brackets from 4.75% to 9.9%, the 0.1% statewide transit tax, and 0.6% for Paid Leave Oregon on wages up to $184,500. The quick answer above shows a single filer on $60,000; the calculator recomputes it for your pay, filing status, and OR-W-4 allowances.

What are the Oregon income tax brackets for 2026?

For withholding on a single filer's taxable base: 4.75% on the first $4,550, 6.75% up to $11,400, 8.75% up to $125,000, and 9.9% above that. Married brackets are double: $9,100, $22,800, and $250,000. The base is annual wages minus federal tax withheld (up to $8,750) and the $2,910 or $5,820 standard deduction, and a $263 credit per allowance then comes off the tax.

Why is my Oregon withholding so high?

Three reasons. Oregon's standard deduction for withholding is only $2,910 single or $5,820 married, so most of your pay is taxable. The 8.75% bracket starts at just $11,400 of taxable base for a single filer. And with no OR-W-4 on file, employers withhold at a flat 8% of wages. Filing an OR-W-4 with the allowances you qualify for applies the $263 credit per allowance and usually lowers the amount.

What are the transit tax and Paid Leave Oregon lines on my paycheck?

The statewide transit tax is 0.1% of all wages with no cap, paid entirely by employees. Paid Leave Oregon is 1% of wages up to $184,500, split 60/40: you pay 0.6% and your employer pays 0.4%, unless the employer has fewer than 25 employees, in which case only your 0.6% is collected. Voters rejected Measure 120 in May 2026, so the transit rate did not rise.

How are bonuses taxed in Oregon?

A bonus paid separately from regular wages is withheld at a flat 8% for Oregon, on top of 22% federal supplemental withholding, FICA, the 0.1% transit tax, and 0.6% Paid Leave Oregon. A bonus added to a regular paycheck runs through the normal formula instead. The same 8% flat rate applies to all wages if you never filed an OR-W-4.

Does Portland have a local income tax on paychecks?

Two regional taxes apply to higher earners: the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax at 1% and the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax at 1.5% to 3%, each above an income threshold set by the program. Employers in the area may withhold them for employees over the threshold. This calculator leaves them out; check the current thresholds with the Portland Revenue Division if your income is in that range.
