Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tax bracket?
A tax bracket is a range of income taxed at a specific rate. The U.S. federal income tax system is progressive, so different portions of your income are taxed at different percentages as your income rises.
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the highest bracket that applies to your last dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is your total tax divided by your full income, so it is usually lower than your marginal rate.
Does moving into a higher bracket mean all my income is taxed more?
No. Only the portion of income that falls inside the higher bracket gets taxed at that higher rate. The income in lower brackets keeps its lower tax rates.
Does this calculator include deductions and tax credits?
No. This tool estimates federal income tax from bracket rates alone. It does not subtract the standard deduction, itemized deductions, tax credits, payroll taxes, or state income taxes.
