How brackets work
- Federal income tax is charged in layers. Each rate applies only to the part of taxable income inside its bracket, so moving into a higher bracket does not raise the tax on income below it.
- Taxable income is income after deductions. Most people take the standard deduction instead of itemizing.
- The IRS adjusts the brackets and standard deduction for inflation each year and publishes the new amounts in the fall, in a news release and a Revenue Procedure.
- These are federal amounts only. Credits, other taxes and state income taxes are not included.
Methodology
- Update cadence
- Annual (October or November); checked daily. Checked every 24 hours.

- How it is produced
- We follow the IRS's list of inflation-adjusted tax items to each year's news release, and from it to the Revenue Procedure that sets the official rate tables and standard deductions. Before publishing, the tax amount the IRS lists at the start of each bracket must equal the amount calculated from the brackets themselves, and the release's standard deductions and single and joint thresholds must match the Revenue Procedure. The IRS brackets page is read too and must agree when it covers the same year. If figures for a year ever change, the update is held until the editor has checked why.
