Oregon Tax Burden

Comparing income tax in Oregon vs. New York
While New York is known for its high tax rates, Oregon residents may actually pay more in taxes in the middle-income range.

For example, New York's highest rate of 10.9% applies only to income over $25 million, whereas for income between $80,650 and $5 million, New York’s tax rates range from 5.25% to 9.65%.

This means that if your income falls between $125,000 and $5 million, you'll typically pay more in taxes in Oregon than in New York, despite New York’s reputation for high taxes.

Let's compare the state income taxes for someone earning $300,000 in both Oregon and New York, assuming no deductions.

Oregon Tax Calculation:

• First $3,750 taxed at 4.75%:
  $3,750 × 4.75% = $178
• Next $5,700 (from $3,750 to $9,450) taxed at 6.75%:
  $5,700 × 6.75% = $385
• Next $115,550 (from $9,450 to $125,000) taxed at 8.75%:
  $115,550 × 8.75% = $10,1101
• Remaining $175,000 (from $125,000 to $300,000) taxed at 9.9%:
  $175,000 × 9.9% = $17,325.00

Total Oregon State Income Tax: $178 + $385 + $10,111 + $17,325.00 = $27,999.

New York's tax calculation:

• First $8,500 taxed at 4%: $340
• Next $3,200 (from $8,500 to $11,700) taxed at 4.5%: $144
• Next $2,200 (from $11,700 to $13,900) taxed at 5.25%: $116
• Next $66,750 (from $13,900 to $80,650) taxed at 5.5%: $3,671.
• Next $134,750 (from $80,650 to $215,400) taxed at 6%: $8,085
• Remaining $84,600 (from $215,400 to $300,000) taxed at 6.85%: $5,795

Total New York State Income Tax :
$340 + $144 + $116 + $3,671 + $8,085 + $5,795 = $18,151

Tax Comparison for $300,000 Income:

• Oregon State Income Tax: $27,999
• New York State Income Tax: $18,151

For a $300,000 income, Oregon’s state income tax is significantly higher than New York’s, with a difference of $9,848. Despite New York’s reputation for high taxes, Oregon imposes a heavier tax burden on middle to high income earners at this income level.
Keep in mind that the calculation do not include federal, Social Security, or Medicare taxes, which would further affect overall tax obligations.
