Federal Tax Brackets by Year

IRS income tax rates for 2022–2026, all filing statuses. Each page shows the exact bracket ranges, tax on each bracket, and the standard deduction.

About federal tax brackets

The US uses a progressive income tax system with seven brackets (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%). Each rate applies only to the income within that bracket — not to your entire income. This means your effective tax rate is always lower than your top (marginal) rate.

The IRS adjusts bracket thresholds annually for inflation. Filing status affects the thresholds significantly — married filing jointly thresholds are roughly double the single filer thresholds for most brackets.
