Effective Rate

On $75,000 taxable income, you owe $11,414 in federal tax. Your marginal rate is 22%, but your effective rate is only 15.2% due to progressive brackets.
This calculator uses 2025 federal tax brackets. The U.S. uses a progressive tax system where income is taxed at increasing rates as you earn more. Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar, while your effective rate is your average rate across all income.
Moving into a higher bracket only affects income above that threshold—not your entire income. For example, if you're in the 22% bracket, only the income above the 12% bracket threshold is taxed at 22%.
