Tax bracket calculator
This is the rate on the next dollar, not the rate on everything you earned. Type taxable income, not your gross pay. If you type gross, the bracket will look worse than it is.

Here’s one
Single, $63,900 of taxable income
$63,900 of taxable income, filing single, sits past $50,400 and not past $105,700. The next dollar is taxed at 22%. Dollars below that were taxed at 10% and 12%.
How it works
We find the band your taxable income falls in. If you land exactly on a boundary, you stay in the lower band. That’s how the IRS writes “not over.”
Where this comes from
The IRS writes each band as “not over,” so income that lands exactly on a line stays in the lower band. The 2026 dollar amounts are in the revenue procedure.
Good for
You already know taxable income and you want the rate on the next dollar, not the whole bill.
