More on Tax Brackets

The tax bracket you fall in is a marginal tax rate and it doesn’t apply to all of your income. For more information, see How Do Tax Brackets Work?

In addition to the tax brackets and 2017 federal tax tables above, you may owe tax under the alternative minimum tax. You can review the AMT exemption to see if it will apply to you.
