IRS Tax Tables 2025 — Federal Tax by Taxable Income
Look up 2025 federal income tax for the return you file in 2026, by taxable income — the Form 1040 line 15 figure left after your standard or itemized deduction — for all four filing statuses, computed cell by cell from the official 2025 brackets.
A table can't apply your deductions or credits — get your exact 2025 tax including deductions and credits instead.
Calculate your 2025 tax →2025 tax table — $5,000 to $100,000 taxable income
Each cell is the 2025 federal income tax on that row's taxable income — i.e. after subtracting your deduction ($15,750 standard for single filers, $31,500 married filing jointly). Don't look up your gross salary here; subtract your deduction first.

$100,000 to $250,000 — where the schedules take over
The printed IRS Tax Table in the Form 1040 instructions stops at $100,000 of taxable income. Above that, the IRS switches you to the Tax Computation Worksheet, which applies the exact bracket formula — the same computation behind every cell on this page — so this second table continues seamlessly in $25,000 steps.
| Taxable income | Single | Married filing jointly | Married filing separately | Head of household |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100,000 | $16,914 | $11,828 | $16,914 | $15,175 |
| $125,000 | $22,847 | $17,328 | $22,847 | $21,108 |
| $150,000 | $28,847 | $22,828 | $28,847 | $27,108 |
| $175,000 | $34,847 | $28,328 | $34,847 | $33,108 |
| $200,000 | $41,063 | $33,828 | $41,063 | $39,324 |

Methodology — exact formula vs the printed IRS table
The official IRS 1040 Tax Table groups taxable income into $25 bands (under $3,000) and $50 bands (from $3,000 to $100,000) and prints the tax computed at each band's midpoint. Every figure on this page is instead the exact §1 bracket-by-bracket computation on the stated taxable income, so an official table cell can differ from ours by a few dollars either way — the difference is the rounding band, not the rates. When you file, use the official table (or the Tax Computation Worksheet above $100,000); your tax software does this automatically.
Tax tables vs tax brackets — dollars vs rates
Our US tax brackets reference shows the marginal rates — the percentage each slice of income is taxed at. This page answers the other question: the dollar tax on a given taxable income, with all the bracket slices already added up. Once you know the tax, compare it with what was withheld from your paychecks using the tax refund estimator to see whether your 2025 return produces a refund or a balance due.
Frequently asked questions
How much federal tax do I pay on $50,000 of taxable income in 2025?
$5,914 if you file single (a 22% marginal bracket), or $5,660 as head of household. That is tax on TAXABLE income — Form 1040 line 15, after your standard or itemized deduction. If you earn a $50,000 salary and take the $15,750 single standard deduction, your taxable income is far lower and so is your tax.
Do these numbers match the printed IRS Tax Table in the 1040 instructions exactly?
Within a few dollars. The printed IRS Tax Table groups taxable income into $25 and $50 bands and prints the tax computed at each band's midpoint, so its cells can differ slightly from the exact bracket formula. This page shows the exact §1 computation — for example $11,828 on $100,000 taxable income married filing jointly. When you file, use the official table or your software's figure.
Is this table before or after deductions?
After. The lookup column is TAXABLE income — what remains after subtracting your standard deduction ($15,750 single, $31,500 married filing jointly for 2025) or itemized deductions, plus any QBI deduction, from your income. Never look up your gross salary in a tax table; that overstates your tax.
What if my taxable income is over $100,000?
The printed IRS Tax Table stops at $100,000. Above that, Form 1040 filers use the Tax Computation Worksheet, which applies the same bracket formula this page uses — so the second table above ($100,000 to $250,000) is computed identically. Filing single at $100,000 taxable income the tax is $16,914.
