Frequently Asked Questions
What is a marginal tax rate?
The marginal tax rate is the rate applied to your last dollar of income — the highest bracket your income falls into. It does not mean all your income is taxed at that rate. Progressive tax systems tax income in layers, with each bracket having its own rate.
What is effective tax rate?
Effective tax rate is the average rate at which your total income is taxed. It equals total tax divided by taxable income. It is always lower than or equal to your marginal rate because lower portions of income are taxed at lower rates.
Are these tax calculations exact?
These are estimates based on standard tax brackets. Your actual tax liability may differ based on deductions, credits, exemptions, filing status, state/provincial taxes, and other factors. Always consult a qualified tax professional for precise calculations.
What is the difference between gross and taxable income?
Gross income is your total earnings before any deductions. Taxable income is gross income minus allowable deductions and exemptions. Taxes are calculated on taxable income, not gross income.
How do tax brackets work?
Tax brackets are income ranges taxed at different rates. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate — not your entire income. This is called a progressive or graduated tax system, used by most countries worldwide.
