Understanding Your Taxes
Key concepts for tax planning and preparation
Marginal vs Effective Rate
Marginal rate is the tax rate on your last dollar of income. Effective rate is your total tax divided by total income - your average tax rate.
Standard vs Itemized
Take the standard deduction unless your itemized deductions (mortgage interest, state taxes, charity) exceed the standard amount.
FICA Taxes
Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) taxes are separate from income tax. High earners pay additional Medicare tax (0.9%) on income over $200,000.
Tax Brackets
The US uses a progressive tax system. You pay different rates on different portions of your income, not one rate on all income.
