What are Oregon’s income tax rates for 2026?

Oregon taxes income in 4 brackets, from 4.75% to 9.9%. A joint return and a head of household use the same, wider brackets:

Oregon income tax brackets: where each rate starts, by filing status
RateSingleMarried filing jointlyHead of household
4.75%from $0from $0from $0
6.75%over $4,550over $9,100over $9,100
8.75%over $11,400over $22,800over $22,800
9.9%over $125,000over $250,000over $250,000

Federal tax subtraction: you subtract the federal income tax you pay, up to $8,750. That limit falls by $1,750 for each $5,000 of income from $125,000 for a single filer (each $10,000 from $250,000 for a joint return or head of household), so it is gone from $145,000 single and $290,000 joint. Standard deduction: $2,910 single, $5,820 married filing jointly and $4,700 head of household. Exemption credit: $263 off the tax for you, and the same for a spouse on a joint return, but none at all when income is over $100,000 ($200,000 for a joint return or head of household).

Also taken from pay, besides income tax: Oregon statewide transit tax, 0.1% of pay with no upper limit; Paid Leave Oregon, 0.6% of pay up to $184,500.

What is different about paychecks in Oregon?

Oregon is one of the few states that lets you subtract the federal income tax you pay. On $60,000 of pay, a single filer pays about $5,020 in federal income tax and subtracts all of it, which takes about $439 off the Oregon tax.

Oregon has no sales tax, and its income tax rates are high: 8.75% applies from $11,400 of taxable income for a single filer, and 9.9% above $125,000.

Every paycheck also pays the statewide transit tax, 0.1% of pay after 401(k) with no upper limit, and Paid Leave Oregon, 0.6% of pay up to $184,500 (at most $1,107 a year). Some employers pay the Paid Leave Oregon share for you.

Oregon publishes its final 2026 standard deduction and exemption credit only with its 2026 tax forms, early in 2027. Until then this calculator uses the figures in its 2026 withholding formula, which may differ by a few dollars.

Not final yet

Oregon has not published these 2026 figures yet, so this page uses the latest official amounts and will be updated when the state publishes: Oregon’s 2026 standard deduction ($2,910 single, $5,820 married filing jointly) and exemption credit ($263), taken from its 2026 withholding formula. Oregon’s 2026 head of household standard deduction ($4,700), the Department of Revenue’s estimate in its 2026 Form OR-W-4 instructions; an earlier estimate was a little lower.

What does this calculator leave out in Oregon?

  • The Workers’ Benefit Fund assessment, a few cents for each hour worked.
  • Oregon’s kicker credit (none is known for 2026), its earned income credit and the extra deduction at 65 or for blindness.
  • Dependents, and credits such as the child tax credit.
  • One job for the whole calendar year, with the same pay every paycheck, no bonus and no overtime.
  • A married couple filing jointly is one earner: the whole household income is this pay.
  • The year’s tax is divided evenly across your paychecks. Your employer withholds from each paycheck using your W-4 and the IRS tables, so a paycheck can differ a little.
