The Formula
Federal income tax is calculated using progressive marginal brackets on taxable income (after the standard deduction). FICA is calculated on earned wages. State tax uses each state's effective rate for estimation.
Variable Definitions
Adjusted Gross Income
Gross income minus above-the-line deductions (401k, health insurance, HSA). This is the starting point for calculating taxable income.
Taxable Income
AGI minus the standard deduction. Federal income tax brackets are applied to this number.
Marginal & Effective Tax Rates
Marginal rate is the tax rate on your last dollar of income (your highest bracket). Effective rate is total federal tax divided by gross income — always lower than the marginal rate due to progressive brackets. Together they show both the cost of earning more and your true tax burden.

Federal income tax uses progressive marginal brackets where only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate, making the effective rate lower than the marginal rate
Understanding the Concept
The US federal income tax system is progressive — higher income is taxed at higher rates, but only for the income within each bracket. If you're in the 22% bracket, you don't pay 22% on all your income — you pay 10% on the first portion, 12% on the next, and only 22% on the income that falls in that bracket. This is why the "effective rate" is always lower than the "marginal rate." Pre-tax contributions to 401(k) and health insurance reduce both your taxable income AND your FICA wages, making them extremely valuable.
