Tax Brackets
Federal Ordinary Income Tax Brackets
Federal Ordinary Income Tax Brackets are used to calculate your tax liability from active income sources like wages, self-employment incomes, and rental income.
Find your Taxable Income figure and determine what range (Column 1 and 2) it is in the appropriate table. Multiply the difference between your Taxable Income and the amount in the last column by the percent in Column 4. Add the result to Column 3 to obtain an estimate of your tax.
For example, if your taxable income is $120,000 and you file Jointly, your estimated tax is calculated as follows:
- Find the row with your income range – row 3 in this case.
- Subtract your taxable income from the last column. $120,000 – $83,550 = $36,450
- Multiply that result by the rate in column 4. $36,450 x 22% = $8,019
- Add the result in step 3 to the base tax amount in Column 3. $9,615 + $8,019 = $17,634
