Tab "Tax Breakdown"
This tab shows a visual pie chart of where every dollar of your salary goes: federal tax, OR state tax, transit tax, Social Security, Medicare, Portland surcharges (if applicable), and take-home pay. It calculates how many cents of each dollar you actually keep and your combined effective tax rate.
Tab "Compare Filing Status"
See your take-home pay calculated side-by-side as Single, Married Filing Jointly, and Head of Household. The comparison table shows federal tax, OR state tax, FICA + transit, and net take-home for each status. The best option is highlighted in green.

Additional Medicare = 0.9% × max(0, Gross − $200,000)
Portland Metro Surcharges (if applicable):

Take-Home Pay:
Net = Gross − Federal tax − OR tax − Transit − SS − Medicare − Portland surcharges − Pre-tax deductions
Per paycheck = Net ÷ Number of pay periods
Oregon has no sales tax, which means your take-home pay has more purchasing power on everyday goods compared to states like California (7.25%+), Washington (6.5%+), or New York (8%+). However, Oregon compensates with one of the highest income tax rates in the country.
Example
$80,000 Salary — Single, Biweekly, Not Portland Metro
On an $80,000 salary in Oregon, you keep about 72.9 cents of every dollar. This is one of the worst net take-home amounts in the US at this income level — less than NYC ($58,522), Maryland Montgomery County ($58,981), and even California ($60,553). Oregon’s high 8.75% bracket kicks in at just $10,751, meaning most of your income is taxed at near-top rates. The no-sales-tax benefit partially offsets this, but only if you spend significantly in-state.
