TopToolAIUSA Federal Income Tax Calculator
Estimate your US federal income tax based on your income and filing status, using the 2026 marginal tax bracket structure and standard deduction. A single filer earning $60,000 falls across two or three federal brackets rather than one flat rate — only the portion of income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, which is why an effective tax rate always comes out lower than the top marginal rate.
