2026 & 2025 reference
Federal income tax rates at a glance.
Choose the tax year and filing status to see ordinary federal income tax brackets and the base standard deduction.
Tax brackets apply in layers: reaching a higher bracket does not mean all your income is taxed at that rate. These ranges use taxable income after deductions, not your gross pay.
Capital gains and qualified dividends can have different rates. Credits, additional taxes, and state taxes also affect your final bill. Age, blindness, dependent status, and other eligibility rules can change your standard deduction.
