What is Federal Tax Brackets?
The US federal income tax is progressive, meaning higher income is taxed at higher rates. For 2025, there are 7 brackets ranging from 10% to 37%. Importantly, only the income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that rate — not your entire income.
Your marginal tax rate is the rate applied to your last dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is the average rate you pay across all brackets, which is always lower than the marginal rate.
