For 2022 (meaning the taxes you’ll file by April 2023), the United States has seven tax income tax brackets with seven different tax rates: Tax Rateįor 2023 (meaning the taxes you’ll file by April 2024), the tax rates are: Tax Rate
The government accomplishes this through marginal income tax rates, meaning you pay a particular percentage of taxes on the part of your income that falls within a certain tax bracket.
The United States uses a progressive tax for the federal income tax system, meaning the more taxable income you have, the greater a percentage of that income you pay in taxes. But if you compare one individual making more than $160,200 and one making less, the tax becomes regressive, as the higher-income individual is now paying a smaller percentage of their income. So if you compare two individuals with an income under $160,200, the tax is proportional. Above that income level, you no longer have to pay the tax. But that 6.2% only applies up to a particular income level - $160,200 as of 2023 (an increase from $147,000 in 2022). For example, everyone pays the same rate of 6.2% (as of 2023) toward the Social Security tax, which funds the Social Security program that provides income to older individuals. So even though everyone in a community pays the same sales tax rate, it’s not a flat tax.Īdditionally, some taxes are proportional up to only a certain point. When people refer to taxes as being proportional (aka flat), it generally refers to the percentage of income the taxes add up to. The United States doesn’t have many examples of proportional taxes. A proportional tax is also considered a flat tax, but one that requires everyone to pay the same percentage of their income toward the tax.
