Federal income tax by bracket, with the standard deduction applied.
About this calculator
What it estimates
Your US federal income tax by bracket for a given gross income and filing status, after the standard deduction.
Assumptions (US 2025 tax year rates)
- •Single or married-filing-jointly brackets for 2025
- •Standard deduction of $15,750 (single) or $31,500 (MFJ) — the 2025 amounts after the July 2025 legislation
- •No credits, state tax, self-employment tax or NIIT
Estimates only, for orientation. Rates and thresholds change each tax year and your actual liability depends on facts this tool does not ask for. This is not tax advice.
For US–UK filers
Why your real number differs
Americans abroad usually reduce this figure substantially with the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555) or the Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116). Which one is better depends on your UK tax paid, pension contributions and future plans — it is a modelling decision, not a default.
