Income Tax Calculator — 2025 Federal Brackets, Single Filer
How much of your paycheck does the IRS keep? This free estimator applies the 2025 US federal single-filer brackets to your gross income: subtract the $15,000 standard deduction, tax each slice of the remainder at its marginal rate, and report the total tax with effective and marginal rates plus take-home pay. It is an estimate from the first paragraph on — not tax advice, not a filing tool.
See exactly which bracket your last dollar falls in, why a raise never makes you poorer (only the slice above each line is taxed higher), and how the standard deduction shields your first $15,000. Every calculation runs locally in your browser with no signup, and any scenario can be shared with a link.
The 2025 single-filer math
Seven brackets from 10% to 37% apply progressively: income inside each band is taxed at that band's rate only. The effective rate is total tax over gross income; the marginal rate is the rate on your next dollar.
taxable = income after deductions · effective = effective tax rate · take-home = net pay.
How it works
- Enter your annual gross income, from $0 to $10,000,000.
- The $15,000 single standard deduction comes off first — taxable income is what remains.
- Each slice of taxable income is taxed at its bracket rate, 10% through 37%.
- Read federal tax, effective and marginal rates, take-home pay and the per-bracket table.
The 7-bracket 2025 single table
10% to $11,925 · 12% to $48,475 · 22% to $103,350 · 24% to $197,300 · 32% to $250,525 · 35% to $626,350 · 37% above. Crossing into a higher bracket never taxes your whole income higher — only the slice above the line.
What this estimate leaves out
No state income tax, no FICA, no credits, no itemized deductions, no joint filing — 2025 federal single-filer with the standard deduction only. Follow-ups add states and filing statuses; for filing decisions consult a tax professional.
Frequently asked questions
Marginal vs effective rate — what's the difference?
Marginal is the rate on your next dollar (your bracket); effective is total tax divided by gross income — always lower, because lower slices were taxed at lower rates.
Why is taxable income lower than gross?
The $15,000 single standard deduction is subtracted first. Only the remainder flows through the brackets — earn $15,000 or less and federal tax is zero.
Which tax year is this?
2025 federal brackets for single filers (IRS Rev. Proc. 2024-40). Brackets adjust yearly for inflation, so verify the current year's table before filing.
Does this include state tax or FICA?
No — federal income tax only. State taxes and Social Security/Medicare (FICA) are separate computations and follow-ups for this tool.
Can I use this to file my taxes?
No. It is a bracket-math estimate for planning, not filing software: no credits, no itemizing, no special situations. Consult a tax professional before filing.
