How It Works
The US uses a progressive (marginal) tax system. Your marginal rate is the bracket your last dollar of income falls in, but your effective rate is always lower because earlier dollars are taxed at lower rates. For example, a single filer with $85,000 taxable income has a 22% marginal rate but only pays about 15% effective. Understanding bracket boundaries helps with tax planning like timing income or maximizing deductions.
