Method and scope
2026 federal ordinary-income bracket estimate for single or married filing jointly. Enter taxable income after all applicable deductions; no standard deduction is subtracted again. Excludes credits, state/local taxes, Social Security, Medicare, AMT, capital gains, qualified dividends and special deductions. This is federal bracket tax before credits, not take-home pay or a return calculation.
Try the starting example
Annual ordinary taxable income after deductions: $60,000.
Estimated income tax: $7,912.00.
Compare one assumption at a time
Compare the change in estimated tax with the change in entered income. The effective rate on the whole income and the tax on an additional amount are different measures. Only the supported tax components are shown; this table does not expand the scope into a full return or payslip. These fictional scenarios use the starting inputs printed above, not your current entries in the interactive calculator.

Does your comparison include your employer contribution?
An ordinary investment projection does not add a 401(k) employer contribution. Enter the actual contribution in the dedicated 401(k) tool, then compare balances with the same return and horizon. The federal tax tool excludes state and local taxes, so its result cannot establish the cash available for saving.
To reproduce the table, reset the calculator, change only the named input and compare the result and any warning. Record the assumptions with your result. See worked planning examples and our calculation and correction process.
