Estimate Your Federal Income Tax Liability

Understanding your potential income tax is a key part of financial planning. This calculator provides a simplified estimate of your U.S. federal income tax liability based on your gross income and filing status for the 2025-2026 tax year.

How It Works:

The U.S. has a progressive tax system with several tax brackets. This tool simplifies the calculation:

  • Determine Taxable Income: It starts with your Annual Gross Income and subtracts the standard deduction for your selected filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, or Head of Household).
  • Apply Tax Brackets: It then applies the projected 2025-2026 federal tax brackets to your taxable income to calculate the total estimated tax.

    • How to Use the Calculator:

  • Annual Gross Income: Enter your total income before any deductions.
  • Filing Status: Choose the filing status that applies to you.

    • The calculator will provide an estimate of your federal income tax. This tool is for educational purposes and helps illustrate how the tax system works.
