Marginal vs. effective

Your tax bracket is the rate on your last dollar of income — not on all of it. Because the US system is progressive, only the income within each band is taxed at that band's rate, so your effective rate (total tax as a share of income) is always lower than your bracket.

Quick FAQ

Does a raise into a higher bracket cost me money?

No — only the portion above the threshold is taxed at the higher rate. You always keep more of a raise; the bracket myth trips up a lot of people.

Is this my total tax rate?

This is federal income tax on taxable income. Add FICA (7.65%) and any state tax for your full picture — see the income tax and take-home pay calculators.
