Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between effective and marginal tax rates?
Marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income. Effective rate is total tax divided by gross income — your actual average rate. Most people pay well below their marginal bracket rate because lower brackets are taxed at lower rates first.
What is the standard deduction for 2025?
For 2025: Single filers get $15,000; Married Filing Jointly get $30,000; Head of Household get $22,500. These amounts are adjusted annually for inflation.
What is not included in this estimate?
This estimate does not account for itemized deductions, tax credits (Child Tax Credit, EITC), self-employment tax, capital gains tax, or retirement account contributions.
How do tax brackets work?
Tax brackets are marginal — only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate. If you're in the 22% bracket, only income above the 12% bracket threshold is taxed at 22%. All income below is taxed at lower rates.
