How are federal income taxes calculated?
Federal income tax uses a progressive bracket system. Your income is taxed at increasing rates as it moves through each bracket, and you only pay the higher rate on income above each threshold.
What is an effective tax rate vs. marginal tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the highest bracket your income falls into. Your effective rate is the total tax divided by total income — it is always lower than your marginal rate because lower portions of income are taxed at lower rates.
