Federal income tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. For 2026, rates range from 10% to 37%. Each portion of your taxable income is taxed at the corresponding rate, not your entire income at one rate.
AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) is your gross income minus above-the-line deductions like 401(k), IRA, and HSA contributions. AGI determines your eligibility for credits and deductions, and is the base for calculating your taxable income.
As of 2026, these states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It includes Social Security tax (6.2% on wages up to $184,500 in 2026) and Medicare tax (1.45% on all wages). Your employer matches these amounts.
The 2026 standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers, $32,200 for married filing jointly, and $24,150 for head of household. Taxpayers aged 65 or older can also claim the $6,000 senior deduction (2025–2028, phased out above $75,000 MAGI, or $150,000 for joint filers).
