What is withheld on a Oregon pay stub

Every pay stub shows gross pay, each deduction, and net pay for the period and the year to date. These are the employee taxes that apply in Oregon for 2026.

Federal income tax

Withheld from the employee’s Form W-4 using the IRS Publication 15-T method. Same in every state.Source

Social Security

6.2% of wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.Source

Medicare

1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages above $200,000 in the year.Source

Oregon income tax

Oregon taxes wages at graduated rates from 4.75% to 9.9% for 2026.Source

Disability and paid leave

Paid Leave Oregon: 1% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026; employee pays 60% (0.6%), employers with 25+ employees pay 40%, smaller employers pay nothing (the employee share is still withheld).Source

Local income taxes

Portland area: Metro Supportive Housing Services tax (1% of taxable income above $125,000 single or $200,000 joint) and Multnomah County Preschool for All tax (1.5% above the same thresholds, plus 1.5% more above $250,000 single or $400,000 joint). Employers must withhold for employees working in the district who earn $200,000 or more. TriMet and Lane Transit district taxes are paid by the employer. The 0.1% statewide transit tax is a state tax, not local.Source

Other employee withholding

Statewide Transit Tax: 0.1% of wages withheld from employees, no wage cap (a proposed increase was referred to voters as Measure 120 and failed on May 19, 2026). Workers' Benefit Fund assessment: 1.8 cents per hour worked in 2026, part of which employers may deduct from wages.

Oregon wage rules that shape a pay stub

Pay stub law

Employers must give an itemized statement each payday showing the pay date, dates of work covered, employee and employer names, employer business registry number and contact details, rates and basis of pay, gross and net wages, each deduction and its purpose, overtime hours and rates for non-exempt employees, and piece rate details where applicable. Electronic statements are allowed only if the employee expressly agrees and can print or store the statement when it is received.Source

Employer unemployment tax

Paid by the employer on the first $54,300 of each employee’s wages (2025 wage base). It is an employer cost and does not reduce the employee’s net pay.
