What are US Tax Brackets?
Tax brackets are progressive scales: you pay 10% on the first portion of income, 12% on the next, etc. Not all income is taxed at the marginal rate.
What's the difference between effective and marginal tax rates?
Tax rate and your highest bracket rate. Effective tax rate is the actual percentage you pay on total income, always lower than marginal due to progressive system.
What is the Standard Deduction?
Concise deduction - subtract from gross income before calculating taxes. For 2026, single filers deduct up to $15,000, joint filers up to $30,000. Alternatively, use itemized deductions if eligible.
