â Frequently Asked Questions
Tax brackets are ranges of income taxed at increasing rates. In a progressive system, only income within each bracket is taxed at that rate â not your entire income.
Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income (highest bracket), while the effective rate is the average rate across all your income (total tax divided by total income).
