Standard deductions 2026: Single $15,000; MFJ $30,000; HoH $22,500; MFS $15,000. Taxable income = max(0, gross − pre-tax deductions − deduction amount). Each bracket: tax = (min(taxable, upTo) − prev_bracket_ceiling) × rate. Marginal rate = bracket where taxable income falls. Effective rate = total tax ÷ AGI. This is a federal income tax estimate only; state taxes are not included.
For 2026 single filers: 10% up to $11,925; 12% up to $48,475; 22% up to $103,350; 24% up to $197,300; 32% up to $250,525; 35% up to $626,350; 37% above. Married filing jointly has double thresholds for most brackets.
Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income (your tax bracket). Your effective rate is total tax ÷ total income. Someone in the 22% bracket often has an effective rate of 13–16% because lower income is taxed at 10% and 12%.
No — this is the most common tax misconception. US taxes are marginal (progressive). If you're in the 22% bracket, only the income above the 12% bracket threshold is taxed at 22%. All income below is taxed at lower rates.
The 2026 standard deduction is $15,000 (single) or $30,000 (married filing jointly). This amount is subtracted from your income before brackets apply. On a $75,000 income (single), taxable income is only $60,000 — saving about $3,300 vs no deduction.
