How to calculate
Finds your 2026 federal tax bracket from taxable income and filing status, with the tax, how much income falls in each bracket, and how far the next bracket is.
Example with the default inputs (Filing status Single, Taxable income $60,000.00, Tax year 2,026): With $60,000.00 of taxable income, filing Single, you are in the 22% bracket and owe $7,918.00.
Method: Bracket = the rate of the highest bracket whose floor is at or below taxable income. Tax = Σ rate × income inside each bracket (the rate schedule); below $100,000 the Tax Table applies the schedule to the middle of the $50 row and rounds to whole dollars.
- An estimate for tax year 2026 (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32), not tax advice.
- All taxable income is ordinary income: qualified dividends and long-term gains, taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, are not split out (use the capital gains tax calculator).
- Taxable income is after deductions; credits, self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, and state tax are not included.

How it works
The bracket is the rate of the highest bracket whose floor is at or below your taxable income (a floor itself is taxed at the new rate from the next dollar). The tax by the rate schedule is the sum over the brackets of rate × the income inside each bracket.
Form 1040 line 16 uses the Tax Table below $100,000 of taxable income: it applies the schedule to the middle of the row that holds your income (rows of $5 below $5, $10 to $25, $25 rows to $3,000, then $50 rows) and rounds to whole dollars, half up. At $100,000 and above it uses the exact schedule. "Tax" on this page is that line 16 figure; "Tax by the rate schedule" is the exact one. Average rate = tax ÷ taxable income.
2026 bracket floors (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32):
| Rate | Single | Married filing jointly, surviving spouse | Married filing separately | Head of household |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| 12% | $12,400 | $24,800 | $12,400 | $17,700 |
| 22% | $50,400 | $100,800 | $50,400 | $67,450 |
| 24% | $105,700 | $211,400 | $105,700 | $105,700 |
| 32% | $201,775 | $403,550 | $201,775 | $201,750 |
| 35% | $256,225 | $512,450 | $256,225 | $256,200 |
| 37% | $640,600 | $768,700 | $384,350 | $640,600 |
"Next bracket starts at" is the next floor above your income, and "Room left" is that floor minus your income. The tax year field keeps 2026 brackets until the IRS publishes the next year's, and says so.
Worked examples by hand
Single, $58,900. 10% × 12,400 + 12% × 38,000 + 22% × 8,500 = 1,240 + 4,560 + 1,870 = $7,670 by the schedule. The Tax Table row is $58,900 to $58,950, middle $58,925: 1,240 + 4,560 + 22% × 8,525 = 7,675.50, rounded to $7,676. Bracket 22%; the 24% bracket starts at $105,700, $46,800 away.
Married filing jointly, $117,800. 2,480 + 12% × 76,000 + 22% × 17,000 = 2,480 + 9,120 + 3,740 = $15,340. Bracket 22%; the next starts at $211,400, $93,600 away.
Single, $483,900. 1,240 + 4,560 + 22% × 55,300 + 24% × 96,075 + 32% × 54,450 + 35% × 227,675 = 1,240 + 4,560 + 12,166 + 23,058 + 17,424 + 79,686.25 = $138,134.25. Bracket 35%.
Head of household, exactly $67,450. 10% × 17,700 + 12% × 49,750 = 1,770 + 5,970 = $7,740 by the schedule. The bracket is 22%, because the next dollar above $67,450 is taxed at 22%.
Other questions people ask
What are the 2026 federal tax brackets?
Seven rates: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. For single filers the brackets start at $0, $12,400, $50,400, $105,700, $201,775, $256,225, and $640,600 of taxable income. For married filing jointly: $0, $24,800, $100,800, $211,400, $403,550, $512,450, and $768,700. The table below has every status. Source: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32.
Does moving into a higher tax bracket lower my take-home pay?
No. Only the income above the bracket floor is taxed at the higher rate; the income below it keeps its lower rates. A raise that crosses into the 22% bracket costs 22% of the part above the floor, not 22% of all your income.
How do I find my tax bracket?
Take your taxable income, which is your income after the standard or itemized deduction, and find the highest bracket whose floor is at or below it. That rate is your marginal rate, or tax bracket. Use the taxable income calculator if you only know your salary.
Why is the tax a little different from the rate schedule?
Below $100,000 of taxable income, Form 1040 uses the IRS Tax Table, which taxes the middle of each $50 row and rounds to whole dollars. So $58,900 of taxable income owes $7,676 by the table and $7,670 by the exact schedule. The page shows both.
Are capital gains taxed at these rates?
Short-term gains are. Long-term gains and qualified dividends have their own 0%, 15%, and 20% rates. This page treats all taxable income as ordinary; use the capital gains tax calculator for gains.
What does this calculator leave out?
Deductions and credits (type taxable income after deductions), self-employment tax, the alternative minimum tax, and state tax. It is an estimate, not tax advice.
