In this informative video, we demystify the concept of tax brackets and how they work in the US tax system. We start by addressing common questions about how raises affect taxes and how the government determines the amount to deduct from your paycheck.
The video explains that the US tax system is based on tax brackets, which means you don't pay the same tax rate on every dollar you earn. We delve into the concept of tax brackets, likening them to steps on a ladder, where you pay a higher tax rate on each step, but only on the income that falls within that step.
We present a table showing the seven tax brackets for single filers in 2023, explaining how each income range corresponds to a certain percentage of tax. The video clarifies that you only pay the tax rate for the income that falls within each bracket, not on every dollar you earn.
The video also covers how tax brackets change every year based on inflation and other factors, and how they depend on your filing status, such as single, married, or head of household.
We guide you through the steps to calculate your tax using the tax brackets, from finding your total income for the year to applying the tax brackets to your taxable income. We provide an example calculation for a single filer with a total income of $75,000 in 2023, demonstrating how to apply the tax brackets to the taxable income.
The video discusses the progressive nature of this tax system, designed to make the tax burden increase as the income increases, making the rich pay more than the poor and providing some relief to low- and middle-income earners.
Finally, we wrap up by emphasizing that this is a simplified example considering only the federal income tax, and there are other factors that affect your tax bill, such as state and local taxes, deductions, credits, and other sources of income. We suggest using online tax calculators or consulting a tax professional for a more accurate estimate of your tax liability.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of how much tax you pay and why, enabling you to plan your finances better.
