Portland, Oregon paycheck calculator
A Portland resident inside Metro and Multnomah County can owe two layered taxes on Oregon taxable income above high thresholds: Metro’s supportive housing services tax and Multnomah’s Preschool for All tax. This page models 1% Metro and 1.5% Preschool above $125,000 single or $200,000 joint, plus another 1.5% Preschool slice above $250,000 / $400,000. Below those thresholds the local lines are zero even if you live in Portland.
Oregon’s state brackets still run as high as 9.9%, the statewide transit tax of 0.1% still withholds from almost every employee, and the federal deduction Oregon allows is not fully modeled, so the state line can run high. Paid Leave Oregon is not in the payroll file yet. Someone who works downtown and lives in Vancouver, Washington, should leave Portland / Multnomah unselected.
These local taxes are often settled on the Oregon return rather than as a classic weekly withholding line. The estimate still shows them when you live in the jurisdiction and clear the thresholds, so an offer comparison is not missing a four-figure surprise at filing time.

Local tax
Portland / Multnomah County applies layered taxes above income thresholds for residents. Below those thresholds the local lines are zero in this estimate. A Portland resident inside both Metro and Multnomah County is modeled with two taxes on Oregon taxable income: 1% Metro supportive housing services above $125,000 single / $200,000 joint, plus Multnomah Preschool for All at 1.5% above those same thresholds and another 1.5% above $250,000 single / $400,000 joint. The dollar thresholds are the commonly published figures and may be inflation-indexed by ordinance. These taxes are filed with the Oregon return; not every employer withholds them. Someone in Washington County Metro but outside Multnomah would owe only the Metro layer — this combined jurisdiction is the Portland-in-Multnomah case.
What is not included
Credits, itemized deductions, multi-state credits, property tax, sales tax, and unsourced local rates are not included. Employer payroll tables can differ from this annualized estimate. Paid Leave Oregon is not in the payroll file yet, and Oregon’s federal-tax deduction is not fully modeled.
Questions
Do all Portland workers pay the Metro and Preschool taxes?
Only residents above the income thresholds in this model. Working in Portland while living elsewhere usually leaves them off.
What local taxes apply under $125,000 single?
None of the Metro/Preschool layers in this estimate. You still see Oregon state tax and the 0.1% transit tax.
Is TriMet withheld from my check here?
No. TriMet’s payroll tax is an employer excise. The 0.1% statewide transit tax is the employee line.
