Progressive rates with no sales tax
Oregon tax starts at 4.75% and reaches 9.9% at the top bracket. The state has no sales tax, which is why income tax withholding is higher than in neighboring Washington.

Portland-area local income taxes
Statewide Oregon tax is included here. Some Portland-area residents also owe local income taxes that are not withheld by every employer.
Metro and county taxes
Portland-area residents with higher incomes may owe the Metro supportive housing tax and the Multnomah County preschool tax. These are local income taxes based on residence and income thresholds.
No sales tax
Oregon has no state or local sales tax. That makes the effective cost of living lower than the income tax rate alone suggests, especially for large purchases.
Statewide transit taxes
Some payroll taxes fund statewide transit and paid leave programs. These are separate from income tax and are not part of this calculator.

Portland-area local taxes
The Metro and Multnomah County taxes apply to higher incomes. Check the thresholds before relying on the state-only figure.
No sales tax, higher income tax

Working in Oregon: what to expect
Oregon workers trade a higher income tax for no sales tax. For someone who spends a large share of income on taxable goods, that can partly offset the state tax line, but the effect is smaller for workers who save aggressively.
Portland is the largest job market and also has the highest housing costs and the local income taxes. Salem, Eugene and Bend offer different trade-offs between wages, rent and lifestyle.
Oregon taxes wages for work performed in the state, and remote workers should track their work location. Living in Washington and working in Oregon, or the reverse, can create withholding questions for payroll.
