How Oregon State & Local Income Taxes Work in 2026
Oregon does not have a general sales tax, relying heavily on progressive personal income taxes to fund state services:
1. Oregon Progressive Income Tax Brackets
Oregon assesses personal income tax using four graduated tiers:
- 4.75% Tier: $0 to $4,300 (Single) / $0 to $8,600 (Married Joint)
- 6.75% Tier: $4,300 to $10,750 (Single) / $8,600 to $21,500 (Married Joint)
- 8.75% Tier: $10,750 to $125,000 (Single) / $21,500 to $250,000 (Married Joint)
- 9.90% Tier: All taxable income exceeding $125,000 (Single) / $250,000 (Married Joint)
2. Federal Income Tax Subtraction
Oregon is one of the only states allowing taxpayers to subtract their federal income tax liability from state taxable income. For 2026, the maximum subtraction is $8,250 for single filers and married couples filing jointly ($4,125 for married filing separately). This subtraction significantly lowers net Oregon taxable income for middle and higher earners.
3. Statewide Transit Tax & Portland Metro Taxes
Oregon payroll withholdings include unique state and municipal surtaxes:
- Statewide Transit Tax: 0.1% (one-tenth of one percent) levied on gross wages of all employees working in Oregon.
- Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS): 1.0% tax on taxable income exceeding $125,000 (Single) or $200,000 (Married Joint) in the Portland metropolitan area.
- Multnomah County Preschool for All (PFA): 1.5% tax on taxable income over $125,000 ($200,000 Joint) plus an additional 0.8% on income over $250,000 ($400,000 Joint).
