The US uses a progressive tax system where different portions of your income are taxed at different rates:
Total Tax = Σ (Income in Bracket × Bracket Rate)
Key terms: - Marginal Rate: The tax rate on your last dollar of income (highest bracket reached) - Effective Rate: Total tax ÷ Total income (your average tax rate)
Example: A single filer earning $50,000 pays: • 10% on first $11,600 = $1,160 • 12% on $11,600-$47,150 = $4,266 • 22% on $47,150-$50,000 = $627 • Total: $6,053 (12.1% effective rate)
