How Oregon Minimum Wage Compares to the Federal Rate

Oregon's 2026 minimum wage of $15.55 per hour is $8.30 above the $7.25 federal minimum. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour has not changed since 2009, meaning workers in states like Oregon rely on state law for meaningful wage floors.

At $15.55/hr working full-time (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), an Oregon worker earns $32,344.00 gross annually. That equals $622.00 per week and roughly $2,695.33 per month.

These figures are gross (before taxes). Your take-home pay will be lower after federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) deductions. Use our Oregon Income Tax Calculator for a net-pay estimate.

Overtime Pay at Oregon's Minimum Wage

Overtime is where minimum-wage pay is most often miscalculated. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, hours over 40 in a workweek must be paid at one and a half times the regular rate — at Oregon's $15.55 standard rate that is $23.33 per overtime hour. A 50-hour week therefore pays $622.00 for the first 40 hours plus $233.25 in overtime, or $855.25 gross, not the $777.50 a flat hourly multiplication suggests. The calculator above now splits regular and overtime hours automatically. Oregon adds a daily rule on top of the federal one: employees of manufacturing establishments earn overtime after 10 hours in a day, not only after 40 in a week, per the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries.

What Oregon Minimum Wage Actually Nets After Oregon-Only Payroll Deductions

Gross pay is not take-home, and Oregon takes two deductions that most minimum wage calculators ignore. Paid Leave Oregon runs a total contribution of 1% of gross wages in 2026, of which the employee pays 60% — 0.6% — on wages up to a $184,500 cap. On top of that, the statewide transit tax takes 0.1% of every dollar of Oregon wages, with no cap and no minimum. Both come out before you reach federal income tax, FICA, or Oregon income tax.

Run it on the standard rate. Full time at $15.55/hr is $622.00 a week and $32,344 a year gross. Paid Leave takes $194.06 a year, the statewide transit tax takes $32.34, so those two Oregon-only lines remove about $226.40 a year — roughly $4.35 a week — before any income tax is applied. Small employers with fewer than 25 employees are excused from the employer 40% share, but they still withhold your 0.6%, so the deduction on your payslip looks identical whoever you work for.
