$60,000 in Oregon → $45,996 take-home ($1,769 biweekly, 23.3% effective rate). Federal income tax $5,020, Social Security and Medicare $4,590, Oregon income tax $3,974, other state deductions $420. Single filer, biweekly pay, no pre-tax deductions.
How Oregon taxes your paycheck in 2026
Oregon has one of the highest state income taxes on wages, and its withholding formula is unusual: it first subtracts federal income tax withheld (up to $8,750, phased out above $125,000 of wages for a single filer or $250,000 married) and a standard deduction of $2,910 (single) or $5,820 (married), then applies rates of 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75% and 9.9%, and finally subtracts a $263 credit for each allowance on Form OR-W-4. Employees also pay a 0.1% statewide transit tax and 0.6% toward Paid Leave Oregon.
The statewide transit tax is 0.1% of every dollar of wages. Paid Leave Oregon costs the employee 0.6% of wages up to $184,500 (60% of the 1% contribution; employers with 25 or more employees pay the other 0.4%). On a $60,000 salary the two together come to $420 a year. Unemployment insurance and Workers' Benefit Fund assessments are mostly employer-paid.
Portland-area high earners owe the Metro Supportive Housing Services tax (1%) and the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax (1.5%, rising to 3%), which start at roughly $125,000 of taxable income for a single filer or $200,000 for a joint return. Withholding for them is opt-in with most employers, so they are not included here. TriMet and Lane Transit District payroll taxes are paid by employers, not deducted from pay.
What changed in 2026
For 2026 the standard deduction rose to $2,910 single and $5,820 married, the per-allowance credit to $263 and the federal tax subtraction cap to $8,750. Voters rejected the increase of the statewide transit tax to 0.2% (Referendum 120, May 19, 2026), so it stays at 0.1%. Paid Leave Oregon stays at a 1% total contribution with a $184,500 wage base. The Oregon formula publication is internally inconsistent in places (its FAQ still mentions $8,500 and one example uses $256); the formula tables, which this calculator follows, say $8,750 and $263.
Federal taxes on every Oregon paycheck
Federal income tax is withheld with the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method based on your Form W-4: filing status, the Step 2 checkbox for a second job, dependent credits and any extra withholding. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and Medicare 1.45% with no cap (plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000). Pre-tax 401(k) contributions lower your federal and Oregon income tax; health premiums and HSA or FSA contributions under a cafeteria plan also lower Social Security and Medicare.
