Oregon Hourly Paycheck Calculator

Oregon payroll taxes

An Oregon paycheck typically includes federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Oregon state income tax withholding. Depending on location and program funding, employees may also see state program contributions (e.g., Paid Leave Oregon, statewide transit tax). Employers fund Oregon unemployment insurance (SUTA), FUTA, workers’ compensation, and must keep required postings/records. Pretax benefits—401(k)/403(b)/457(b), HSA, FSA, commuter/transit, and Section 125 premiums—can reduce taxable wages when plan-eligible.

• Employee (federal): Income tax (IRS W-4), Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare for high earners.
• Employee (state/local): Oregon state withholding (OR-W-4 elections); select local/jurisdictional taxes may apply in certain areas.
• Employer: Oregon SUTA; FUTA; workers’ comp; program contributions as required; local registrations where applicable.
• Pretax deductions: May lower federal/state taxable wages and, when eligible, FICA; local treatment varies by jurisdiction.

How Your Oregon Paycheck Works

Your net equals gross hourly wages (regular, overtime, tips, differentials, bonuses) minus pretax deductions; then minus FICA, federal income tax, Oregon state withholding, any applicable local/jurisdictional withholding, and employee program contributions. The calculator itemizes hours, rates, taxable wages, all withholdings, deductions, credits, and final take-home.

• Inputs: Hourly rate, hours, overtime, tips, pay frequency, filing status, dependents/credits, residence/work location, deductions.
• Outputs: Line-by-line FICA, federal, Oregon state, applicable local/program contributions, deductions, and estimated net pay.
• Supplemental pay: Compare flat vs. aggregate federal methods; review how Oregon/local withholding treats bonuses/commissions.

Replace placeholders with official Oregon Employment Department figures (taxable wage base, experience-rated range, new-employer rate) before publishing.

Oregon salary threshold

Oregon follows FLSA and state rules. Exempt status requires passing the duties tests and meeting the applicable salary-basis threshold; titles alone don’t create exemption. Confirm regional/state minimum wage tiers, tip-credit rules (Oregon generally does not allow a traditional tip credit), predictive scheduling in certain jurisdictions, and industry-specific standards when classifying roles and calculating overtime.

Oregon Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)

FICA is federal and applies in Oregon: employees pay Social Security and Medicare; employers match both. Above a federal threshold, Additional Medicare tax is withheld from employees (no employer match). Eligible pretax benefits (e.g., Section 125 health premiums) can reduce FICA-taxable wages depending on plan rules.

Number of cities that have local income taxes

50-word description: Oregon has limited local income/payroll taxes that may affect employees depending on residence or worksite (for example, specific county/city or regional programs). Many local assessments are employer-side only, but some include employee withholding. Paychecks usually reflect state and federal taxes plus any applicable local/program lines—always confirm jurisdictional rules before estimating.

Oregon Wage and Hour Laws: Overtime, Pay Frequency

• Overtime: Most non-exempt workers earn 1.5× the regular rate after 40 hours/week (FLSA baseline). Certain Oregon sectors (e.g., manufacturing, mills) have additional daily or weekly limits—verify applicability.
• Pay frequency: Employers must pay on a regular schedule (commonly biweekly or semimonthly) and provide itemized wage statements.
• Minimum wage: Oregon’s minimum wage varies by region (Standard, Portland Metro, Nonurban). Confirm the correct tier for the worksite and any predictive scheduling rules in covered jurisdictions.

FAQs about the Oregon Hourly Paycheck Calculator

How do I use the Oregon Hourly Paycheck Calculator?

Why does my Oregon pay stub include program or local lines?

Some statewide or regional programs and limited local taxes require employee withholding. Your stub may show these alongside state, federal, and FICA lines—confirm your worksite and residence rules.

Which form controls my Oregon state withholding?

Form OR-W-4 controls Oregon state withholding elections (used with your IRS W-4 for federal). Update after life changes and align with the calculator inputs for accuracy.

How should I enter overtime, shift differentials, tips, and bonuses?

Input overtime at 1.5× when eligible; add differentials and reported tips; enter bonuses as supplemental wages so federal/Oregon/local rules calculate correctly.

Why did my Oregon paycheck change this period?

Common causes: variable hours/tips, overtime/bonus (supplemental method), updated W-4/OR-W-4, benefit changes, moving into/out of a covered local program, or annual tax-table updates. Compare current vs. prior stubs.

Does the calculator work for nonresidents working in Oregon?

Yes. Oregon withholding generally applies to Oregon-sourced wages for nonresidents; local/program rules depend on jurisdiction. Your home state may offer credits—verify filing requirements.

Can pretax benefits increase my take-home?

Yes. 401(k)/403(b)/457(b), HSA, FSA, commuter/transit, and Section 125 premiums can reduce taxable wages and lower income tax and, when eligible, FICA—often improving net pay.

How are tips treated in Oregon paycheck calculations?

Reported tips are taxable for federal, FICA, and Oregon income tax. Include cash and charged tips to ensure proper withholding and compliance with any tip-related rules.

How do multiple jobs affect my Oregon withholding?

Use IRS multiple-jobs guidance and ensure OR-W-4 reflects your situation. Model each job separately, especially if they’re in different regions or subject to different local/program rules.

What is Additional Medicare tax and when does it apply?

After wages exceed the federal threshold, employers must withhold Additional Medicare on the excess. There’s no employer match; it appears beside regular Medicare on your stub.
