Oregon minimum wage in 2027.
Rates in force through June 30, 2027.
Oregon's rates run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027: $16.80 in the Portland metro area, $15.55 standard and $14.55 in nonurban counties. The next change takes effect July 1, 2027.
Oregon is the July state. It does not change on January 1, so the first half of 2027 uses the rates already in force, and the July 1, 2027 inflation adjustment has not been announced.

What the sources say
Oregon BOLI lists the rates for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027: $16.80 per hour in the Portland metro area (within the urban growth boundary, including parts of Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties); $15.55 standard (Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Deschutes, Hood River, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Wasco, Yamhill and parts of Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington outside the urban growth boundary); and $14.55 in the nonurban counties.
BOLI says the minimum wage is tied to inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index, and any increase takes effect July 1 each year. We do not state a July 1, 2027 figure because it has not been published. A worker whose shift straddles June 30 and July 1 gets two different rates for the hours on each side.
The DOL tipped table lists Oregon among states that require the full minimum wage before tips, so tips are extra.

Limits of this page
The converter multiplies the hourly rate by your hours and 52 weeks, with monthly as one twelfth of the year. It is gross pay before tax and ignores overtime, unpaid time off and local minimum wages that are higher than the state rate. Cities and counties in some states set their own rates, so check the place where the work is done.
