Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between marginal and effective rate?
Your marginal rate is the bracket your last dollar is taxed at. Your effective rate is total tax divided by income. The effective rate is always the lower of the two.
Does a higher bracket tax all my income?
No. Only the income above each threshold is taxed at that bracket's rate, so moving into a higher bracket never lowers your take-home pay.
