US Federal Income Tax Brackets
Federal income tax brackets, standard deductions, and marginal rates — every filing status, for tax years currently on file.
How federal income tax brackets work
The US federal income tax is a progressive system — different portions of your taxable income are taxed at different rates. The marginal rate is the rate applied to your last dollar earned, not your full income.
For example, in tax year 2025 a single filer with $50,000 taxable income pays 10% on the first ~$11,925, 12% on the next slice up to ~$48,475, and 22% only on the small slice above that.
