Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 2025 federal income tax brackets?
The 2025 federal income tax brackets for single filers are: 10% up to $11,925; 12% from $11,926 to $48,475; 22% from $48,476 to $103,350; 24% from $103,351 to $197,300; 32% from $197,301 to $250,525; 35% from $250,526 to $626,350; and 37% on income over $626,350. These are the brackets for income earned in 2025, with returns due April 2026.
What are the 2026 federal income tax brackets?
The 2026 federal income tax brackets for single filers are: 10% up to $11,925; 12% from $11,926 to $48,475; 22% from $48,476 to $103,350; 24% from $103,351 to $197,300; 32% from $197,301 to $250,525; 35% from $250,526 to $626,350; and 37% on income over $626,350.

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income — the highest bracket you fall into. Your effective rate is your total tax divided by total income. Because the U.S. uses a progressive system where only income within each bracket is taxed at that rate, your effective rate is always lower than your marginal rate.
What is the 2025 and 2026 standard deduction?
For both 2025 and 2026 the standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers and married filing separately, $30,000 for married filing jointly, and $22,500 for head of household. The standard deduction reduces your taxable income before brackets are applied and is automatically used in this calculator.
How do tax brackets actually work?
Each bracket only applies to income within that range. A single filer earning $60,000 pays 10% on the first $11,925, 12% on income from $11,926 to $48,475, and only 22% on income from $48,476 to $60,000. The bracket breakdown table above shows exactly how much falls into each bracket and what you owe in that bracket.
