How to use the tax bracket calculator

1

Enter your income

Input your gross annual income, filing status, and deduction type. The calculator applies the current year standard deduction automatically.

2

See your bracket

The calculator shows which bracket each portion of your income falls into and the tax owed in each bracket.

3

Understand effective vs marginal

Your effective rate is what you actually pay on average. Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar — not your entire income.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the rate applied to your last dollar of income — the highest bracket you reach. Your effective tax rate is the average rate across all your income. Because the US uses progressive brackets, your effective rate is always lower than your marginal rate.
What is the 2026 standard deduction?
For 2026, the estimated standard deduction is $15,450 for single filers, $30,900 for married filing jointly, and $23,200 for head of household. These amounts are adjusted annually for inflation.
Does this include state taxes?
No — this calculator estimates federal income tax only. State income tax rates vary widely from 0% (no state income tax in states like Texas and Florida) to over 13% (California). Add your state tax rate separately for a complete picture.
Is this calculator free?
Yes — completely free with no account or signup required.
