Federal Bracket Breakdown
Effective rate vs. marginal rate
Your marginal rate (22%) is the rate you pay on your last dollar of income — it only applies to income above that bracket's threshold. Your effective rate (21.3%) is your total tax burden as a share of gross income, including income taxes and FICA payroll taxes (Social Security + Medicare).
If someone says they're "in the 22% bracket", that doesn't mean they pay 22% on everything — it applies only to the portion above that bracket's lower bound.
