🏛 What is your estimated federal income tax and effective rate?
👤 Filing Status
Estimating your federal taxes doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you are filing single or married filing jointly, this simple calculator estimates your 2026 tax rate and total tax bill based on the latest IRS brackets. Just enter your income and deductions to see where your effective tax burden stands before tax season.
💵 Income Details
Combine all expected sources of income for the year. The U.S. uses a progressive tax system, meaning your income is divided into portions, and each portion is taxed at a rate ranging from 10% to 37%.
This tool automatically applies the $16,100 standard deduction for singles (or $32,200 for joint filers). For a highly detailed projection that generates a pre-filled W-4, use the official IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.
