How Tax Brackets Work
Your Bracket = Highest bracket where Taxable Income > Bracket MinimumThe US federal income tax uses a progressive (graduated) system with seven brackets. Your "tax bracket" is the highest rate bracket your income reaches - also called your marginal tax rate.
Example (Single, $75,000 taxable income):
10% bracket: $0 - $11,600
12% bracket: $11,600 - $47,150
22% bracket: $47,150 - $75,000 (your income stops here)
Your bracket: 22%Key point: Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate. Moving into a higher bracket does not mean all your income is taxed at the higher rate. This is why your effective tax rate (average across all brackets) is always lower than your marginal bracket rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tax bracket am I in for 2024?
Your tax bracket depends on your taxable income (gross income minus deductions) and filing status. Enter your taxable income above to instantly see which of the seven federal brackets (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, or 37%) you fall into. Remember, only the income within that bracket is taxed at the marginal rate - not your entire income.
How did tax brackets change from 2023 to 2024?
The seven tax rates (10% through 37%) stayed the same, but the income thresholds were adjusted upward by approximately 5.4% to account for inflation. For example, the 22% bracket for single filers starts at $47,150 in 2024 compared to $44,725 in 2023. This means you can earn slightly more before moving into a higher bracket.
What is the difference between a tax bracket and an effective tax rate?
Your tax bracket (marginal rate) is the rate applied to your last dollar of taxable income. Your effective tax rate is the average rate across all your income - calculated as total tax owed divided by total income. Because the US uses progressive taxation, your effective rate is always lower than your marginal bracket rate. Use our Income Tax Calculator for a full effective rate computation.
Does moving into a higher tax bracket mean all my income is taxed at that rate?
No. This is one of the most common tax myths. The US uses a progressive tax system where only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket rate. For example, if you are single and earn $50,000, only the income above $47,150 (about $2,850) is taxed at the 22% rate. The rest is taxed at the lower 10% and 12% rates.
How do I lower my tax bracket?
You can lower your taxable income (and potentially your bracket) through deductions and pre-tax contributions. Common strategies include maximizing 401(k) or IRA contributions, taking the higher of itemized or standard deduction, contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), and making charitable donations. These reduce your taxable income, which may push you into a lower bracket.
