Frequently asked questions
What are the federal tax rates for 2026?
The seven rates are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. For single filers, the 37% bracket begins above $640,600 of taxable income.
Are tax brackets based on gross or taxable income?
Federal brackets apply to taxable income after eligible adjustments and either the standard deduction or itemized deductions, not directly to gross salary.
Does entering a higher bracket tax all my income at that rate?
No. Only the dollars inside a bracket are taxed at that bracket's marginal rate. Lower layers keep their lower rates.
