The maths behind it

This tool uses Each band taxes only the income that falls inside it. Effective rate = total tax ÷ income; marginal rate is the rate on the next unit earned. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

A higher band applies only to the income inside it, so a raise that pushes you into a higher bracket cannot leave you worse off. This models a plain progressive scale and ignores allowances, deductions, credits and social contributions.

Frequently asked questions

Does moving into a higher tax bracket reduce my take-home pay?
No. Only the income above the threshold is taxed at the higher rate, so earning more always leaves you with more. The effective rate row shows this — it is always below the marginal rate.
What is the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?
Marginal is the rate on your next unit of income; effective is total tax divided by total income. If your marginal rate is 25% your effective rate might be 12%, because the earlier bands were taxed at lower rates or not at all.
Is there a limit on how often I can use the Tax Bracket Calculator?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
