Brackets from 4.75% to 9.9%, with the 8.75% rate starting near $10,000. No sales tax, but one of the highest income taxes. After Oregon’s $2,835 deduction, $47,165 is taxable at the state level. On $50,000 that comes to $3,818, an effective state rate of 7.64%.

Local taxes: Portland-area residents also pay TriMet transit tax and, above $125,000, the Metro and Multnomah County income taxes. Those are on top of the figure above.
