How raises are taxed in Oregon
When you get a raise, only the additional income above your current bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate. This is how progressive taxation works — your existing income stays at the same rates. Your effective tax rate increases gradually, not all at once.
Oregon uses a progressive income tax with 4 brackets ranging from 4.75% to 9.90%.
Federal income tax works the same way. A raise from $75,000 to $100,000 doesn't mean all your income is taxed at 22%. Only the portion above $50,400 (the 22% bracket threshold for single filers) is taxed at that rate. Your effective federal rate increases from about 10.2% to 13.2%.

FAQ
How much of a raise do I actually keep in Oregon?
It depends on your tax bracket. Going from $75,000 to $100,000 in Oregon, your take-home increases by $15,400/yr. That means you keep about 62% of the $25,000 raise after all taxes.
Will a raise push me into a higher tax bracket in Oregon?
A higher bracket only applies to income above the bracket threshold, not your entire salary. Your effective tax rate increases gradually. Oregon uses a progressive income tax with 4 brackets ranging from 4.75% to 9.90%.
Are raises taxed at a higher rate than regular pay in Oregon?
No — raises are taxed at the same rates as the rest of your income. If your first paycheck after a raise looks smaller than expected, that's usually because payroll temporarily over-withholds: IRS tables annualize each paycheck and may assume your new rate applies to the entire year. This evens out over the year, or when you file your Oregon and federal returns. Use this calculator to see the true after-tax impact of your new salary.
