How Tax Brackets Work

Suppose you’re single and make $90,000 of income in 2021.  Since $90,000 is in the 24% tax bracket, then your total tax due would be $90,000 x 24% = $21,600.  Could that be right?  No, the total tax due is ($9,950 x 10%) plus ($30,574 x 12%) plus ($45,849 x 22%) plus ($3,624 x 24%) = $15,621.  This is why we call tax brackets marginal and we say there is an effective tax rate in that the rate overall is actually a blended rate.  Ask me more about this example!
