What this calculator does

Understanding your tax rates
When you see your results, you will notice two different rates:
- Marginal Tax Rate: This is the tax applied only to the next dollar you earn. In a progressive system, this rate increases as your income moves into higher brackets.
- Average Tax Rate: This is your overall tax burden. It is calculated by dividing your total tax paid by your total gross income. It is almost always lower than your marginal rate because it accounts for tax-free allowances and lower-taxed lower brackets.
