Portland area residents face two additional local income taxes on top of Oregon's already-high state rates: the Multnomah County Preschool for All (PFA) tax and the Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) tax.
The PFA tax is 1.5% on taxable income above $125,000 (single) or $200,000 (married), increasing to 3% above $250,000/$400,000. The Metro SHS tax adds another 1% above the same $125K/$200K threshold. Combined, a single filer earning $200K pays an additional $1,875 in local taxes.
These taxes, combined with Oregon's top state rate of 9.9%, give Portland-area high earners one of the heaviest income tax burdens in the country — potentially exceeding 14% in combined state and local income tax, rivaling even NYC.
