The calculator automatically applies the standard deduction for your filing status. You can add additional tax deductions like student loan interest or IRA contributions, and include any tax credits you qualify for.

Step 5: Calculate and Analyze Results
Click "Calculate Tax" to see your comprehensive tax liability breakdown. Our tax calculator displays: Federal tax owed, State tax amount, Effective tax rate, and your after-tax income. You'll also see a detailed tax bracket breakdown showing how much of your income falls into each bracket.
