Federal tax bracket breakdown
US Federal Income Tax 2025
The US uses seven progressive federal tax brackets ranging from 10% to 37%. Before calculating tax, your gross income is reduced by the standard deduction — $15,000 for single filers in 2025, $30,000 for married filing jointly. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate, not your total salary.
FICA taxes (Social Security at 6.2% up to $176,100, and Medicare at 1.45% on all earnings) are separate from income tax and always calculated on your gross wage. This calculator covers federal taxes only — add your state's estimated rate for a more accurate total.
