How Tax Brackets Work
The US uses a progressive tax system, meaning you pay different rates on different portions of your income. You don't pay the highest rate on your entire income - only on the amount that falls within each bracket.
Example: If you're single and earn $50,000, you pay 10% on the first $11,925, 12% on income from $11,925 to $48,475, and 22% on income from $48,475 to $50,000.
