What sets Oregon apart in 2026
Of the 29 states compared, Oregon leaves you the least at every salary from $50,000 to $150,000. Its rates run from 4.75% to 9.9%, and the 8.75% bracket starts at just $11,400 of taxable income ($22,800 joint), so most of a typical salary is taxed there. State tax comes to $3,204 at $50,000, 6.41% of gross, and $12,805 at $150,000, 8.54%, where the next dollar is taxed at 9.9%.
Two breaks soften this at lower pay and fade as you earn more. You can subtract the federal income tax you pay, up to $8,750; from about $80,000 single the federal tax passes that cap, and the cap itself shrinks above $125,000 and is gone at $145,000 ($290,000 joint). The $263 personal exemption credit ($526 joint) disappears all at once when income passes $100,000 ($200,000 joint).
Two payroll deductions also come out of every Oregon paycheck and are not in the figures above: the statewide transit tax of 0.1% of wages and Paid Leave Oregon at 0.6% of wages up to $184,500, together about $560 a year on $80,000. In the Portland area, Metro and Multnomah County add taxes of 1% and 1.5% on income above roughly $125,000 to $128,000 single.
