Federal withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T for a 2020-or-later W-4. Social Security applies to the first $184,500 of wages in 2026. Oregon tax uses the 2026 rate schedule (top rate 9.9%).
How Oregon paycheck taxes work in 2026
Oregon uses a graduated schedule with 4 brackets from 4.75% to 9.9%. The top rate applies to taxable income above $125,000 for single filers and $250,000 for joint filers. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, which is why the effective rate on your whole paycheck is lower than the top rate.
Before the rates apply, Oregon allows a standard deduction of $2,910 for single filers and $5,820 for joint filers and personal exemption credits of $256 per filer and $256 per dependent. The calculator applies these automatically based on your filing status and the dependents you enter.
| Rate | Single filers | Married filing jointly |
|---|---|---|
| 4.75% | $0 – $4,550 | $0 – $9,100 |
| 6.75% | $4,550 – $11,400 | $9,100 – $22,800 |
| 8.75% | $11,400 – $125,000 | $22,800 – $250,000 |
| 9.9% | over $125,000 | over $250,000 |
Standard deduction: $2,910 single, $5,820 joint. Personal exemption credit: $256 per filer, $256 per dependent. Married filing separately and head of household use the single schedule in this estimate.
State payroll deductions
Beyond income tax, Oregon employees pay into state programs that appear as separate lines on a pay stub: Paid Leave Oregon (employee share) at 0.6% of wages up to $184,500; Oregon statewide transit tax at 0.1% of all wages. These are included in the estimate.
Local income taxes in Oregon
Multnomah County Preschool for All (1.5% to 3% above $125,000 single) and Metro Supportive Housing (1% above $125,000 single) apply to some Portland-area residents.
Good to know. Oregon allows a limited deduction for federal income tax paid, which this estimate does not include.

Federal taxes on every paycheck in 2026

Social Security is 6.2% of wages up to $184,500; Medicare is 1.45% of all wages plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000.

Why is my actual paycheck different from this estimate?
