Understanding Federal Tax Brackets
The United States uses a progressive tax system, meaning different portions of your income are taxed at different rates. This calculator helps you visualize exactly how much tax you'll pay at each bracket level.
📊 Progressive System
Higher income levels are taxed at higher rates, but only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.
💡 Marginal vs Effective
Your marginal rate is the highest bracket you reach, while your effective rate is your average tax rate across all income.
🎯 Tax Planning
Understanding your brackets helps you make informed decisions about deductions, retirement contributions, and timing of income.
