Public money

How Oregon funds state services

The current 2025–27 legislatively approved all-funds budget, FY2025 audited State tax revenue, current tax rates, and expenditure authority by program area. Oregon budgets on a two-year cycle, and each section preserves its own period and accounting scope.

Tax structure

Common statewide rates

Property and district rates can be local. Each card states the applicable scope.

Individual income tax

4.75%–9.9%Oregon's four ordinary personal-income-tax brackets are 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9%; taxable-income thresholds vary by filing status and tax year.Oregon Department of Revenue: Personal Income Tax Withholding — Oregon Tax Brackets

Sales and use tax

No general taxOregon does not impose a general sales or use/transaction tax, though narrower taxes such as the vehicle use tax still apply.Oregon Department of Revenue: Sales Tax in Oregon

Corporate income and excise tax

6.6%–7.6%Calculated tax is 6.6% on Oregon taxable income up to $1 million; income above $1 million is taxed using $66,000 plus 7.6% of the excess. Excise-tax filers may instead owe the corporate minimum tax.Oregon Department of Revenue: Corporation Excise and Income Tax

Property tax

Local rates per $1,000Counties apply the combined rates of the local taxing districts serving each property to taxable assessed value, so there is no single statewide property-tax rate. Oregon generally taxes the lower of real market value or maximum assessed value, subject to constitutional limits.Oregon Department of Revenue: Property Assessment and Taxation

Latest audited results

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2025

Government-wide activity for Oregon's primary government on the accrual basis. Revenue combines charges for services, operating and capital grants and contributions, taxes, unrestricted investment earnings, and contributions to permanent funds; internal transfers cancel at the primary-government level.

Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Statewide Accounting and Reporting Services: State of Oregon FY2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

Government-wide revenue: $52.1B
Government-wide expenses: $50.0B

Method, scope, and limitations

FactVote used the Oregon Legislative Fiscal Office's May 2026 update for the current biennial all-funds total, fund mix, and official program-area breakdown. FY2025 tax-source shares and audited activity come from the ACFR's government-wide Statement of Activities. Current rate facts come from the Oregon Department of Revenue.

Oregon's $140.991 billion headline covers two fiscal years and includes limited and nonlimited expenditure authority; it should not be compared directly with a one-year audited expense total.
The budget update reflects legislative and specified administrative actions through February 2026; later Emergency Board or administrative changes may alter the legislatively approved budget.
The tax-source denominator contains taxes recognized by the State primary government. Locally retained property taxes are excluded, and Oregon has no general sales tax.
Property-tax bills vary by assessed value and the combined rates of local taxing districts; the rate fact is therefore a formula, not a statewide percentage.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics annual averages for the statewide unemployment rate and civilian employment. The chart converts employment to an index with 2015 equal to 100; the data table retains the published employment level.

LAUS estimates are revised each year through the program's annual processing cycle.
Employment is residence-based civilian employment, not a count of jobs located in the state.

2025	629.14	182.5	$73,678	162.0

Method and limitations

FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016.

This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability.
Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation.
Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income.

The Census Bureau did not release the standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates because pandemic-era data collection did not meet its quality standards; the chart preserves that gap.
The rate is a survey estimate and the accompanying margin of error should be considered when comparing nearby values.
Coverage is measured at the interview and does not show how long someone was uninsured during the year.

NAEP is generally administered every two years; the 2021 administration was postponed, so the timeline moves from 2019 to 2022.

FactVote uses EIA’s West Coast excluding California series, the smallest current EIA retail region that includes Oregon. Changes are calculated from the published August 24, 2026 (prior week), and September 1, 2025 (52 weeks earlier), observations.

Keep in mind

EIA does not publish a current Oregon statewide weekly gasoline-price series. This West Coast excluding California regional estimate should not be read as Oregon’s statewide average.
The regional average combines Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Oregon community.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. Weekly estimates can be revised and can differ from monthly averages.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA's annual utility-scale net generation series and groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.

Generation is electricity produced inside Oregon, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented.
The consistent utility-scale series excludes estimated generation from small-scale solar systems under 1 megawatt. Hydroelectric combines conventional and pumped-storage net generation; the 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources.
The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA’s monthly West Coast (PADD 5) Except California Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices series. Monthly averages are simple averages of the published weekly estimates; prices include taxes.

This regional series covers Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington; it is not an Oregon statewide average.
The regional average masks differences among states, communities, and individual stations.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. The monthly series ends in August 2026 and can differ from the weekly fact.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 consistent state series. Population is the July 1 estimate. Change components describe the preceding annual estimates period, and the Census residual adjustment reconciles the components to the published population change.

Vintage estimates are revised as the Census Bureau incorporates newer records and methods.
Domestic and international migration are modeled demographic estimates, not direct counts of every move.
The small residual adjustment is included in the data table but not drawn as a separate bar.

How it was measured

Oregon Health Authority final occurrence data, compiled from reports submitted to the Center for Health Statistics and summed across months and reported residence counties.

Keep in mind

This is an occurrence count, not a count of abortions obtained by Oregon residents; it includes out-of-state residents and can exclude Oregon residents whose abortions occurred elsewhere.
Reporting completeness, residence exchange, and surveillance changes can affect comparisons over time; the measure does not establish the effect of a law or candidate position.
Oregon also publishes 2025 preliminary and 2026 year-to-date files; this card retains 2024 because it is the latest finalized annual file.

Facts are shown for context only and do not affect candidate matching or rankings. Dates, definitions, limitations, and primary sources are included with each figure.
