Taxes are inevitable, but they don't have to be a surprise. Our estimator helps you plan for your annual tax bill so you can adjust your withholdings or savings accordingly.

Marginal vs. Effective Rate

Your marginal tax rate is the tax percentage on your last dollar earned. Your effective tax rate is the total tax you pay divided by your total income. Usually, your effective rate is much lower than your marginal rate because of standard deductions and lower brackets.
