There are seven tax rates that range from 10% to 37% in 2026. Most people's income is taxed at multiple rates — not just one. How much tax you pay is based on a few factors, namely income and filing status.
The tax brackets in the tables below apply to income you earn this year, which you’ll report on the tax return you file in 2027.
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 and you expect to earn $150,000 this year. The top rate you’d pay on a portion of your income is 24%. The rest would be taxed at 10%, 12% and 22%.
