Understanding Tax Brackets
The U.S. uses a progressive tax system with multiple brackets. Your income is taxed at different rates as it moves through these brackets, not all at your top rate.

Marginal vs Effective Tax Rate
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your last dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is your total tax divided by total income – usually much lower than your marginal rate.
