About Tax Bracket Calculator

This free US federal income tax bracket calculator computes your tax liability using the progressive marginal tax system. Income is divided into brackets, each taxed at a specific rate. Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar earned, while your effective rate is the average rate across all income. Updated with 2025 and 2026 tax brackets for single, married filing jointly, and head of household statuses.
