Tax by Bracket
How Tax Brackets Work
The US uses a progressive tax system, meaning only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. Your marginal rate is the highest bracket your income reaches, while your effective rate is the actual percentage of your total income paid in taxes.
Marginal vs Effective Rate
Moving into a higher tax bracket only affects the income above that threshold. A higher marginal rate does not mean all your income is taxed at that rate.
