Do a paycheck checkup with the Oregon withholding calculator

Oregon withholding calculator

Our withholding calculator will help you get the correct amount of tax withheld. We won't ask you for personal information, such as your name or Social Security number. We won't store your information anywhere.

Step 1: Learn about Oregon withholding

If withholding is new to you, or if you just want to know more about it, scroll down to view our withholding FAQ. When you're ready, go to Step 2.

Step 2: Gather your information

Here's what you'll need to have with you before you start using the calculator. You'll need these items for yourself and for your spouse, if you're married and will be filing a joint return.

  • The most recent paystub(s) from your current job(s), if any.
  • A copy of federal Form W-4 from your current job(s), if any, if your paystub doesn't show your federal withholding information.

For the most accurate results, have these items with you as well:

  • A copy of last year's Oregon and federal tax returns.
  • Estimates of:
    • How much money you'll be making this year from your job(s) and other income that you'll pay taxes on.
    • Deductions you'll take on this year's tax return, like student loan interest or property taxes.
    • How much you'll be paying for dependent care this year.

A good guess is all you need. If you don't know what these amounts will be, you can skip those fields in the calculator. The closer you can get to the actual amounts, however, the better your results will be.
