These brackets apply to taxable income for 2025, with tax rates ranging from 10% to 37%. The structure applies differently depending on your filing status: single, head of household, married filing jointly, or married filing separately. This means taxable income is divided into these brackets, and each portion is taxed at the corresponding rate. For example, a single filer with $50,000 taxable income pays 10% on the first $11,925, 12% on income from $11,926 to $48,475, and 22% on the amount over $48,475 up to $50,000. This tax bracket setup was made permanent by recent tax legislation, with annual inflation adjustments to the income ranges.
