In 2025, there are seven tax brackets and rates: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. You may be taxed at just one rate, but it's likely that you'll end up in several brackets. How much you pay depends on factors such as your income and filing status.

The tax brackets in the tables below apply to income earned in 2025, which you’ll report on the tax return you file by April 15, 2026. (Planning ahead? See the 2026 tax brackets here.)

Before we dive in, here's how to read these tables

You'll want to find your total taxable income in the "tax bracket" column. The correlating tax rate is the highest tax rate you'll pay — it doesn’t apply to all of your income; it just applies to the portion that falls within that bracket. The income in the lower brackets is taxed at those lower rates.

For example, let's say you’re a single filer who earned $150,000 in 2025. The top rate you’d pay on a portion of your income is 24%. The rest would be taxed at 10%, 12% and 22%.
