Understanding Your Oregon Paycheck
Navigating your paycheck can be complex, especially with various federal and state deductions. This Oregon Paycheck Calculator helps you understand how your gross annual salary translates into your net pay per period, taking into account key taxes and deductions specific to Oregon.
Federal Income Tax
Federal income tax is a progressive tax levied by the U.S. government. The amount you pay depends on your gross income, filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household), and the number of dependents you claim. The calculator uses the standard deduction and tax brackets for the 2023 tax year to estimate your federal tax liability.
FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare)
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. These taxes fund Social Security and Medicare programs. Social Security tax is 6.2% of your wages up to an annual wage base limit (e.g., $160,200 for 2023). Medicare tax is 1.45% on all your wages, with an additional 0.9% Medicare tax applied to wages exceeding certain thresholds ($200,000 for single filers, $250,000 for married filing jointly).
Oregon State Income Tax
Oregon has a progressive state income tax system, meaning higher earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. The calculator applies Oregon's 2023 tax brackets, standard deductions, and personal exemptions based on your filing status and the number of dependents you claim. Oregon's tax rates range from 4.75% to 11.50%.
Oregon Transit Tax
Oregon imposes a statewide transit tax of 0.1% (0.001) on wages. This tax helps fund public transportation services across the state. It is applied to all wages without a cap.
Oregon Paid Leave (OFLI)
Oregon's Paid Leave Oregon (OFLI) program provides paid family, medical, and safe leave benefits. Employees contribute 0.6% of their wages to fund this program, up to the Social Security wage base limit. This deduction is mandatory for most Oregon employees.
Pre-tax and Post-tax Deductions
- Pre-tax Deductions: These are deductions taken from your gross pay before taxes are calculated. Common examples include contributions to a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan, health insurance premiums, and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contributions. These deductions reduce your taxable income, lowering your overall tax burden.
- Post-tax Deductions: These deductions are taken from your pay after all applicable taxes have been calculated and withheld. Examples include Roth 401(k) contributions, union dues, and certain charitable contributions. These deductions do not reduce your taxable income.
By understanding these components, you can better manage your finances and plan for your take-home pay in Oregon.
