What this statewide profile models

State wage-tax treatment

The profile applies 4 configured statewide rate bands after modeled adjustments. It does not infer local taxes or unsupported credits.

Employee payroll items

The estimate lists Paid Leave Oregon employee contribution, and Oregon statewide transit tax separately from state income tax.

401(k) treatment

Configured pretax 401(k) contributions reduce Oregon taxable wages in this model, subject to the calculator limit and profile boundaries.

Planning focus

Inspect Oregon income tax and configured statewide payroll programs as separate lines when reconciling a pay stub.

Profile boundaries

These limits stay visible so a statewide estimate is not mistaken for a filed return or an address-specific withholding calculation.

  • Oregon state income tax is modeled two ways: an annual-liability estimate, and employer withholding per the state's own published formula.
  • Portland-area, Multnomah County, Metro, Lane Transit District, and Eugene taxes are excluded.
  • The head-of-household standard deduction of $4,700 is Oregon's preliminary figure from the 2026 Form OR-W-4 instructions; Oregon has not published its 2026 Form OR-40 instructions, and its withholding formulas for the same year show no head-of-household amount at all, so this figure may change.
  • A married filer separating returns gets no Oregon standard deduction at all if their spouse itemizes. This estimate applies the full single amount, because it cannot see the other return.
