The middle half of workers earned from $73,040 to $90,690 a year. Employment size matters too. A field with many workers in a state usually means more openings and more room to move employers without moving states. A small field can pay well but offer fewer ways in.

Caveat: this is a withholding publication verification, not a final return booklet verification. The final 2026 Form OR-40 instructions were not yet available at research time, and the annual return federal subtraction is federal tax liability, whereas the withholding formula subtracts federal tax withheld.

The Oregon statewide transit tax of 0.1 percent is separate and is not in this figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
