How to use the Simple Tax Calculator:
- Enter your taxable income in the "Taxable Income" field. Use a positive number (e.g., 50000 for $50,000). No commas or symbols are needed.
- Select your filing status from the dropdown: Single, Married Filing Jointly, or Head of Household.
- Click "Calculate Tax" to see your estimated tax and effective tax rate.
What it does: The calculator subtracts the standard deduction ($13,850 for Single, $27,700 for Married, $20,800 for Head of Household) from your income, then applies progressive tax brackets to the remaining taxable amount. The result shows your total tax and the percentage of your original income that goes to tax.
Note: This is an estimate for federal income tax only. It assumes no other deductions or credits.
