Progressive Local Tax

0% below $200k, then 2.5% and 4.0% stacked withholding bands

Portland Metro uses a progressive local income tax, meaning the rate increases across brackets as income rises. This is similar to how federal and state income taxes work — higher earners pay a larger percentage on income above each threshold.

  • •The local rate ranges from 2.5% to 4% depending on taxable income.
  • •This tax generally applies to residents rather than commuters, so where you live matters more than where you work.
  • •The progressive structure means the effective local rate for most filers is lower than the top marginal rate.
  • •This Portland page is modeled as Metro SHS plus Multnomah Preschool for All withholding for Portland-core payrolls.
  • •In the current paycheck model, withholding starts above $200,000 of annual wages, with a higher combined marginal rate above $400,000.
