FAQ
What's the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Marginal rate is what you pay on your next dollar of income. Effective rate is your average tax rate across all income. Your effective rate is always lower than your marginal rate.
How do tax brackets work?
The U.S. uses a progressive tax system where you pay higher rates only on income within each bracket. Moving to a higher bracket doesn't increase the rate on all your income.
What's the standard deduction?
The standard deduction reduces your taxable income. For 2024, it's $13,850 for single filers, $27,700 for married filing jointly, and varies by filing status.
Does this include state taxes?
No. This calculator only covers federal income tax. State taxes vary significantly and would need to be calculated separately based on your state's rules.
How accurate is this calculator?
This provides estimates based on current federal tax laws. Actual taxes may vary based on deductions, credits, and other personal situations not included here.
