Federal income tax rates increase as taxable income increases. Your tax bracket is the rate that is applied to your top slice of income. Learn more about tax brackets and use the tax rate calculator to find yours.
What is taxable income?Taxable income typically includes wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions, and tips, but can be complex as the IRS classifies other types of earnings as taxable income as well. Learn more about determining your
taxable income
The marginal tax rate is the tax you pay on each additional dollar of your income. The federal marginal tax rate increases as income increases, and is based on the progressive tax method used in the United States. Use our tax percentage calculator to find yours.
What are federal income tax rates?The federal income tax rate at which you’re taxed depends on your income tax bracket. Generally, the more income you earn, the higher your tax rate. Learn more about income tax rates and use the federal income tax rate calculator to find yours.
How can I lower my tax bracket?Lowering your tax bracket involves reducing your taxable income. You can do this by contributing more to retirement accounts like a 401(k) or a traditional IRA (a Roth IRA doesn’t affect your taxable income) and taking advantage of deductions for homeowners, combined with charitable contributions. Always make financial decisions with your overall financial health in mind, not just tax considerations. Learn more about income tax rates and use the federal income tax rate calculator to find yours.
What happens when you go up in a tax bracket?Moving up in a tax bracket means your income has increased, but it doesn't mean all your income is taxed at the higher rate. In the U.S., we have a progressive tax system, so different parts of your income are taxed at different rates. Only the income in the higher bracket is taxed at that rate. The rest is taxed at the lower rates. So, a higher tax bracket doesn't mean a higher rate on all your income. See the current federal income tax brackets.
Why did the federal tax brackets change this year?Federal tax brackets change yearly due to inflation adjustments, a process known as "indexing for inflation." This prevents "bracket creep," where inflation, not real income increase, pushes people into higher tax brackets or reduces the value of credits or deductions. These adjustments ensure income isn't taxed more heavily from one year to the next due to inflation. Learn more about federal tax brackets.
Are state and federal tax brackets different?Yes, state and federal tax brackets differ. Federal brackets are set by the IRS for all U.S. taxpayers, while each state sets its own brackets. Some states have a progressive system like the federal one, other states tax all income at the same rate, and some states have no income tax. Understanding both federal and state tax brackets is key when planning for taxes. Learn which states have the highest and lowest tax rates.
How often are tax brackets updated?Tax brackets are updated annually by the IRS. This is done to account for inflation and is known as "indexing for inflation." It helps ensure that you're not pushed into a higher tax bracket or lose the value of credits or deductions due to inflation rather than an actual increase in income. So, you can expect to see slight adjustments to the tax brackets each year.
The federal income tax system is progressive, which means different tax rates apply to different portions of your total income. “Tax bracket” refers to the highest tax rate charged on your income.
