How Your OR Paycheck Works
Oregon paychecks start with federal income tax withholding based on IRS Publication 15-T, Form W-4, pay frequency, and taxable wages. FICA applies: 6.2% Social Security tax up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500, Medicare at 1.45% on all covered wages, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages above $200,000. Oregon has a graduated state income tax and uses its own withholding formulas, which subtract federal tax withheld, the Oregon standard deduction, and personal exemption credits before applying the rate schedule. The 2026 Oregon withholding formula reflects rates from 4.75% to a top rate of 9.90%. Oregon also requires the employee-paid Statewide Transit Tax at 0.1% of subject wages; this deduction applies to most Oregon wages and is submitted separately by employers to the Oregon Department of Revenue. The Statewide Transit Tax is not included in this calculator's withholding computation. Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions; actual paycheck may differ.
