FAQ — answers Google & AI can cite
What are the 2026 federal income tax brackets?
Seven rates: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%. For single filers the 37% rate starts above $640,600 of taxable income; for married filing jointly above $768,700 (IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32).
What is the 2026 standard deduction?
$16,100 for single and married filing separately, $32,200 for married filing jointly, and $24,150 for head of household.
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
The marginal rate applies to your last dollar of income; the effective rate is total tax divided by total income. Moving into a higher bracket never taxes your whole income at the higher rate.
Does this include state tax or FICA?
No — federal income tax only. State income tax, Social Security, and Medicare are calculated separately.
Is this tax advice?
No. This is a planning estimate based on published IRS figures — see a tax professional for your situation.
