# About This Calculator
The United States uses a Progressive Tax System, meaning your income is taxed at different rates as it crosses specific "brackets." You only pay the higher rate on the portion of income that falls within that bracket.
This estimator uses the 2024 Standard Deduction and tax brackets. It does not account for state taxes, itemized deductions, or specific credits (like Child Tax Credit), but provides a solid "ballpark" for federal liability.
How To Use
- Enter your **Annual Gross Income** (before taxes).
- Select your **Filing Status** (Single or Married Filing Jointly).
- The tool subtracts the **Standard Deduction** automatically.
- View your **Total Tax Liability**, **Effective Tax Rate**, and estimated **Take-Home Pay**.
