Key Concepts

Tax Brackets

Tax brackets are ranges of income that are taxed at specific rates within a progressive tax system. Each bracket has a lower and upper bound, and the tax rate applies only to income that falls within that bracket, rather than the entire income amount.

Marginal Tax Rate

The marginal tax rate is the rate at which the last dollar of income is taxed. In a system with tax brackets, it reflects the percentage applied to income within its specific bracket, which is crucial for determining the incremental tax owed as income increases.

Federal Income Tax

This is a tax levied by the federal government on individuals’ or entities’ earnings. It is the primary source of revenue for government programs and services, and its calculation is based on taxable income after deductions and credits are applied.

Progressive Tax System

A progressive tax system imposes higher tax rates on higher levels of income. This means that as taxable income increases, portions of income are taxed at higher rates, ensuring that those with greater ability to pay contribute a larger share of their income.
