Local income tax rate (optional)

Portland metro area: Metro Supportive Housing Services tax is 1% of taxable income over $128,000 (single) or $205,000 (joint) for 2026. Multnomah County Preschool for All tax is 1.5% over $125,000 / $200,000, plus another 1.5% over $250,000 / $400,000. Portland also has a flat per-person Arts Tax. Separately, the statewide transit tax of 0.1% is withheld from every employee's wages; it is a state tax, not local, and is not part of the income-tax model.

Oregon paycheck guide: rates, deductions and sources

Federal withholding vs. estimated federal tax

Federal income tax withheld over the year: $5,020.00
Difference: About even

A positive difference suggests a federal refund; a negative one suggests you may owe. Other income, deductions and credits change it.

Federal tax brackets applied to your taxable income

How your federal taxable income is taxed
Rate	Income in this bracket	Tax
10%	$12,400.00	$1,240.00
12%	$31,500.00	$3,780.00

How state tax is estimated

We estimate the state income tax you'll owe for the year — wages, minus pre-tax deductions your state allows, minus its standard deduction and exemptions — then apply the state's 2026 brackets and credits, and divide by your number of paychecks. Your employer's withholding uses each state's own formula, so individual paychecks can differ by a few dollars. Employee-paid state programs (disability insurance, paid family leave and similar) are shown separately with their wage caps.
