Filing your 2025 return

Use these brackets for income you earned in 2025, on the return you file in early 2026. For income you're earning in 2026, use the 2026 tax brackets calculator: the rates are the same, but every bracket starts at a higher income.

The seven rates for 2025 run from 10% to 37%. A single filer pays 10% on the first $11,925 of taxable income and 12% on the part up to $48,475; everything above that is taxed at 22% or more. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate, so moving into a higher bracket never lowers your take-home pay. How tax brackets work walks through why.
