Understanding Your Taxes

Marginal Rate

This is the tax rate applied to your highest dollar earned. It's often what people refer to as their "tax bracket" (e.g., 22% or 24%).

Effective Rate

This is the actual percentage of your total income that goes to the IRS. It is almost always lower than your marginal rate because early dollars are taxed at lower rates (10%, 12%).

2024 Standard Deductions

The standard deduction reduces your taxable income. For the 2024 tax year (filing in 2025), the amounts are:

  • Single: $14,600
  • Married Filing Jointly: $29,200
  • Head of Household: $21,900
