2018 Individual Income Tax Brackets

2018 Tax Brackets

In 2018, there are still seven tax brackets for individual taxpayers. However, the overall tax rates have decreased. While the bottom rate remained at 10%, the top rate dropped from 39.6% to 37%.

Remember that these tax rates are marginal, meaning when your income increases and you move up to a higher rate, only the portion of your income above the previous (lower) rate threshold is taxed at a higher rate.
To estimate your 2018 tax liability, use the following tax tables:
