Oregon State Income Tax: What You Need to Know
Oregon has one of the highest state income tax rates in the country, with a top rate of 9.9% on income over $125,000 for single filers.
Oregon has four income tax brackets with rates ranging from 4.75% to 9.9%. The 8.75% rate applies to income between $46,200 and $250,000, meaning most middle-class earners pay 8.75% on the majority of their income. Oregon has no state sales tax — one of only five states with no sales tax — which partially offsets the high income tax burden. Oregon also has a Statewide Transit Tax (0.1% of wages), a Lane Transit District tax for employees in the Eugene area (0.77%), and a Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District (TriMet) payroll tax for Portland-area workers. Oregon has no city income tax.
On top of state taxes, all workers also pay federal income tax based on the 2026 progressive brackets, plus FICA taxes: Social Security (6.2% up to $176,100) and Medicare (1.45% on all wages).
Our calculator applies Oregon's 9.9% top rate to your gross income as a simplified estimate. Actual state taxes may vary based on deductions, exemptions, and local taxes not captured in this estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions: Oregon Taxes
What are Oregon's income tax brackets for 2026?
Oregon has four brackets for single filers: 4.75% on income up to $18,400, 6.75% on $18,400–$46,200, 8.75% on $46,200–$250,000, and 9.9% on income above $250,000. The 8.75% bracket covers most middle-income earners' income. Oregon uses a standard deduction of $2,420 for single filers — much smaller than the federal $15,000 — which means Oregon taxes a larger share of your gross income.
Does Oregon have a sales tax?
No. Oregon is one of five states with no general sales tax. This is a significant benefit for residents — all purchases are free from sales tax. The lack of sales tax offsets some of Oregon's income tax burden, particularly for lower-income residents. Oregon neighbors Washington (no income tax but has sales tax), creating an interesting contrast for workers near the state line.
Does Oregon have any special payroll taxes?
Yes. Oregon employees pay a Statewide Transit Tax of 0.1% of all wages, withheld by employers. Workers in the Lane Transit District (Eugene area) pay an additional 0.77%. Workers in the TriMet district (greater Portland) see an employer-paid payroll tax, though this doesn't directly reduce paychecks. These are on top of the state income tax.
Does Oregon have a city income tax?
Not on wages, but Portland has a unique Multnomah County Preschool for All Tax (1.5% on income over $125,000) and a Metro Supportive Housing Services Tax (1% on income over $125,000) that apply to higher-income Portland-area residents. For most workers earning under $125,000, there is no local income tax. These taxes are filed separately and not withheld from paychecks by most employers.
Does Oregon tax Social Security benefits?
Oregon taxes Social Security benefits for higher-income recipients. Oregon mirrors the federal treatment — the same percentage of Social Security benefits that is taxable federally is also taxable in Oregon. Oregon does provide an exemption for lower-income retirees. Social Security is fully exempt for those with income below roughly $22,500 (single filers).
What is Oregon's minimum wage in 2026?
Oregon's minimum wage varies by region: $15.45/hour in the Portland metro area, $14.20/hour in standard counties, and $13.20/hour in non-urban counties in 2026, all indexed to inflation. Oregon's tiered system recognizes the cost-of-living differences across the state. Portland's minimum is among the higher local minimums nationally. Oregon's minimums are well above the federal $7.25 floor.
