Calculate your estimated federal marginal tax rate, tax bracket, and total federal tax based on your filing status and taxable income for the 2023 tax year.
Your Marginal Tax Rate is:
24%
This corresponds to the tax bracket:
0
Your Total Estimated Federal Tax is:
$0
Your marginal tax rate of 24% is the tax rate you pay on your last dollar of income. It's important to note that not all of your income is taxed at this rate; instead, different portions of your income are taxed at different rates within the tax brackets.
The marginal tax rate is the percentage applied to your last dollar of taxable income. Use your filing status and taxable income to find which tax bracket contains your final dollar.
Key formula: marginal_tax_rate ≈ d(Total Tax) / d(Taxable Income) ≈ bracket_rate
marginal_tax_rate ≈ d(Total Tax) / d(Taxable Income) ≈ bracket_rate
Example values: Single filer with $95,000 of taxable income (2023 brackets).
The marginal rate applies to your last dollar of income; the effective rate is your total tax divided by total taxable income, reflecting the average rate paid.
No. This calculator estimates federal marginal tax rate only. State taxes are separate and can change your combined marginal rate.
Common strategies include contributing to tax-advantaged accounts (401(k), traditional IRA) or using deductions and credits to reduce taxable income and potentially move into a lower bracket.
