Salary calculator →This calculator applies the official 2025 IRS federal income tax brackets to your taxable income — that is, your income after the standard deduction ($15,000 single, $30,000 married filing jointly, $22,500 head of household) or itemized deductions. Income is taxed in layers: each dollar is taxed only at the rate of the bracket it falls into, so your marginal rate (the rate on your last dollar) is almost always higher than your effective rate (your total tax divided by total income).
