What are the tax brackets for 2020 taxes?
The U.S. currently has seven federal income tax brackets, with rates of 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. If you’re one of the lucky few to earn enough to fall into the 37% bracket, that doesn’t mean that the entirety of your taxable income will be subject to a 37% tax. Instead, 37% is your top marginal tax rate.
How do you calculate tax brackets?
To calculate how much you owe in taxes, start with the lowest bracket. Multiply the rate by the maximum amount of income for that bracket. Repeat that step for the next bracket, and continue until you reach your bracket. Add the taxes from each bracket together to get your total tax bill.
