How US income tax works

The US uses a progressive federal income tax system with seven brackets (10-37% in 2026). Tax is applied only to taxable income, which is gross income minus deductions (the standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers in 2026).

On top of federal income tax, most states levy their own income tax. Nine states - Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming - have no state income tax on wages.

Employees also pay FICA taxes: 6.2% for Social Security (on wages up to $176,100) and 1.45% for Medicare (uncapped), totaling 7.65%. High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on wages above $200,000.
