Take-home pay in Oregon
Estimate what a salary in Oregon (OR) becomes after federal tax, ≈8.0% effective state income tax estimate, FICA, typical benefits, and optional commute costs.
Oregon taxes wages at relatively high rates (StubRate ~8% effective) and has no statewide sales tax. The paycheck feels the income tax; the register does not. Federal tax and FICA still apply.
Use this page for Portland tech and hospitals, Eugene and Salem jobs, and comparisons with Washington’s $0 wage tax.
Sample: $85,000 single filer in Oregon → about $4,780/mo net (67.5% stub rate) and $4,603/mo after a modest hybrid commute and lunches. Assumptions: 5% 401(k), $140/month health, three office days, 12 miles each way.

Income tax in Oregon
High state income tax is the story. Washington residents working in Portland (and the reverse) are a classic cross-border mess. This page assumes Oregon residency and work.
No sales tax does not cancel income tax. Do not “net them out” in your head without looking at your actual spending.
Every U.S. W-2 wage still faces federal income tax and FICA (Social Security plus Medicare). Oregon’s difference is the state line—and any local wage tax if your city charges one.

Living and commuting in Oregon
Portland, Eugene, Salem, and Bend have different housing crunches. MAX and parking downtown vs a car-only suburb changes job costs. Rain is time only when traffic piles up.
If the office is in Portland and you would live in Vancouver, Washington, do not use this page as the final tax answer.
Common job markets on this page: Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, Hillsboro. Housing and office days change true stub rate more than a small difference in the state tax shortcut.
Compare two offers if one job is in Oregon and the other is elsewhere—or if commute days differ.

No. It is an educational estimate for comparing offers. It does not file a return, model every local tax, or replace a payroll sample or a tax professional.
