Tax brackets are adjusted annually for inflation. The calculator uses 2023 rates. Always verify with official IRS and NY State publications for current rates before filing.

Marginal rate applies to your top tax bracket, while effective rate is the average percentage paid on total income. The calculator shows total deductions, not marginal rates.
