Oregon Retainage Requirements Retainage from any party may not exceed 5% of the value of the work completed.
A construction contract may provide for the withholding of retainage of up to 10% of any payment made prior to the completion of 50% of the contract. When a contract is 50% complete, retainage withheld shall be reduced so that no more than 5% is held.
In Oregon, parties who withhold retainage are limited to five percent of the amount earned with each progress payment. However, on large projects, retainage can end up being hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars, withheld from payment even though it has been earned.

Charitable, religious, educational, or government organizations. However, exemptions for charitable organizations vary in scope and requirements.
A Simple Example of Fixed-rate Retainage To calculate your expected holdback, simply multiply the scheduled payment amount by the retainage rate. In this case, a $30,000 payment x 10% retainage would equal $3,000 in holdback for each payment.
