How Oregon taxes your paycheck

Oregon also lets you deduct federal income tax paid (up to $8,500). Few states do that. On $75,000, Oregon takes 6.75% of your salary in income tax. Your last dollar pays 8.75%. In other words, the rate in the table is not the rate you pay on the whole salary.

These estimates cover wages only. They use the standard deduction and no credits. Some things would lower your federal tax, and they are not here: the 2026 child tax credit ($2,200 per child) and the 2025–2028 deductions for tips (up to $25,000), qualified overtime (up to $12,500, or $25,000 married), seniors 65+ ($6,000 each) and car-loan interest (up to $10,000). If any of those apply to you, your real federal tax is lower.
