How this calculator works
We subtract your pre-tax deductions and the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly), then apply the 2026 federal brackets (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32): 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. Each rate only applies to the slice of income inside that bracket.
