Sources and how we calculate

Published by Financial Calculator. Editorial policy. Publisher attribution, not a claim of professional review.

District of Columbia brackets and standard deduction come from the District of Columbia revenue department's published 2026 figures (rolling verification recorded in our data files). City and county income taxes are not included.

Figures last checked on November 10, 2026. Read our calculation methodology for data sources and update schedule.

How We Calculate & Keep This Accurate

We subtract the 2026 standard deduction from gross income, walk the federal brackets, then apply the District of Columbiastate standard deduction and brackets to the same income. The combined marginal rate adds both top rates because both taxes hit the same dollar. Credits, pre-tax deductions, and local taxes are not included; the paycheck calculator models those.

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
