Oregon's 9.9% Top Rate and No Sales Tax

Oregon has the second-highest top income tax rate in the nation at 9.9%, trailing only California. The 8.75% bracket — where most middle-income workers land — covers $10,201 to $125,000. That is a wide range and a high rate for workers earning $40K–$100K. Oregon has no general sales tax, which is the trade-off. The standard deduction is $2,420 for single filers — unusually low, which pushes more income into taxable territory. For a Portland worker earning $70,000, the effective state rate is about 8.1%. Add in the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax (1.5–3% on high earners) and the Metro Supportive Housing Tax (1% on income over $125K), and Portland-area effective rates rival NYC.

Portland-Area Tax Add-Ons

Portland has layered on additional Metro-area income taxes that do not apply elsewhere in Oregon. The TriMet transit tax (0.7937%) applies to employers but does not directly hit your paycheck. The Multnomah County Preschool for All personal income tax charges 1.5% on income over $125K (joint) or 3% above $250K. The Metro Supportive Housing Services tax adds 1% on income above $125K ($200K joint). For high-earning Portland workers, total income tax can exceed 13–14% between state, county, and metro taxes. Without a sales tax to fall back on, Oregon funds everything through income and property taxes.
