FAQ
Which brackets does this estimator use?
The 2024 US federal brackets for single and married-filing-jointly statuses; only a rough estimate — deductions and credits are not modeled.
Why is my effective rate lower than my top bracket?
Progressive tax means each bracket rate applies only to income within that slice, so the average across all income is always below your marginal rate.
How do I account for deductions?
Enter your income after subtracting the standard deduction — about $14,600 single or $29,200 married in 2024 — for a closer estimate.
