What is the FICA tax rate in Oregon?
FICA is 7.65% — 6.2% Social Security (up to a $184,500 wage cap in 2026) and 1.45% Medicare. High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on wages above $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly). FICA applies in every state, including Oregon.

Gross pay is your total earnings before any taxes or deductions. Net (take-home) pay is what's deposited into your bank after federal income tax, FICA (7.65%), Oregon state income tax, and any pre-tax deductions like 401(k) and health insurance are subtracted.
