What are tax brackets and how do they work?

The 2023 tax year will have the same seven federal tax bracket as 2022. They are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%.

Your filing status and taxable income will determine the bracket you’re in.

America’s progressive tax system is implemented by tax brackets, which help determine how much you must pay the IRS each year.

Your tax liability is determined by your taxable income. If your income increases, your tax liability increases.

You can calculate your taxes by dividing your income into the portions that will be taxed in each applicable bracket. Every bracket has its own tax rate. The bracket you’re in depends on your filing status: if you’re a single filer, married filing jointly, married filing separately or head of household.

The tax bracket your top dollar falls into is your marginal tax bracket. This bracket is your highest tax rate–which applies to the top portion of your income.

Example: If you are a single filer with a taxable income of $100,000 the calculation is:

  • The first $11,000 is taxed at 10%
  • The next $33,725 ($11,000 – $44,725) is taxed at 12%
  • The next $50,650 ($44,725 – $95,375) is taxeed at 22%
  • And the remaining $4,625 is taxed at 24%

Depending on your tax filing status and taxable income, you can calculate your tax liability using our example above.
