What will Paid Leave Oregon cost me?
If you choose coverage, you will make quarterly contributions. Here’s how it works:
- Your Paid Leave contribution rate for 2025-2026 is 0.6% of your Oregon net income from self-employment (income after expenses) on your previous tax return, up to a maximum of $184,500 in income. This is the same contribution rate employees pay on their wages.
- For example, if your net income from self-employment on your previous tax return was $10,000, you would pay $60 ($10,000 x 0.006) for the year. Your contribution payment is due every quarter, so you would pay $15 per quarter. You can pay online through your Frances Online account or mail your payment to us.
- You can use the contributions calculator to estimate how much you’ll pay.
- You can use the benefits calculator for an estimate of how much your weekly benefits may be if you take paid leave.
