Pro Tips
What is a marginal tax rate?: Your marginal tax rate is the tax percentage applied only to the last dollar you earned. It's not the rate you pay on all your income.
What is the standard deduction?: The standard deduction is a specific dollar amount that reduces your taxable income. For 2024, it's $14,600 for singles and $29,200 for married couples.
How do progressive tax brackets work?: In the US, you pay 10% on your first chunk of income, then 12% on the next chunk, and so on. You only pay the higher rates on income that exceeds the threshold for that bracket.

Fun Facts
"The US federal income tax was introduced in 1913 with a top rate of just 7%."
"At its peak during WWII (1944-1945), the top marginal tax rate in the US was a staggering 94%."
"Many people mistakenly believe that 'moving up a bracket' can result in less take-home pay; this is a myth because the higher rate only applies to the income above the threshold."
