What is the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?

Your marginal tax rate is the rate applied to your last dollar of income (your highest tax bracket). Your effective tax rate is the average rate you pay on your total income. The effective rate is always lower because of progressive taxation.

What are pre-tax deductions and why do they matter?

Pre-tax deductions (like 401(k) and HSA contributions) reduce your taxable income before taxes are calculated. This lowers your tax bill and is one of the most effective ways to reduce your tax burden legally.

How accurate are these tax calculations?

We use official 2025 tax rates and brackets. However, this calculator provides estimates for standard situations. Your actual taxes may vary based on additional factors like other deductions, credits, AMT, or specific state/local taxes.

When should I use this calculator?

Use this calculator when evaluating job offers, planning your budget, deciding on pre-tax contribution amounts, or understanding your take-home pay. It helps you make informed financial decisions.
