MrMojo1:  It's irrelevant where you live! Goto www.IRS.gov and look up Circular E which provides you with the federal tax withholdings table based on your filing status and your pay amount based on our pay schedule (i.e. weekly, biweekly, monthly). Don't forget to take out 6.2% for SS and 1.45% for Medicare. Oregon has a gradual tax rate from 0%-9% so it depends on your state income level! You take the gross pay minus all the taxes listed above to get you the net income amount.
