Free 2026 Tax Bracket Calculator

1. Choose filing status.
2. Enter taxable income after deductions.
3. Review the marginal rate, estimated federal tax, and effective tax rate.

Apply the current-year federal ordinary income tax bracket table to taxable income, sum tax across brackets, then divide total tax by taxable income to estimate the effective rate.

A single filer with $60,000 of taxable income has income across multiple brackets, so only the dollars above the lower thresholds are taxed at the marginal rate.

Year scope: Use the year selector or year note on the calculator itself when comparing thresholds, rates, deductions, or credit limits.

This calculator is maintained against official IRS, SSA, and other primary-source guidance where applicable. Review the sources page and editorial methodology page to verify update practices.

Estimate federal ordinary income tax from taxable income and filing status, then see the marginal bracket and effective rate. This page is best for quick bracket lookups and cross-checking other tax estimates.

Estimate only. This calculator applies ordinary federal bracket math and does not replace a full return.
