      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?

      Your marginal tax rate is the tax bracket applied to your highest dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is the actual percentage of your total income paid in taxes after standard deductions and graduated lower brackets.

      Do states without personal income tax eliminate payroll taxes?

      No. Living in a state without income tax (such as Texas, Florida, or Washington) eliminates state income tax, but federal income taxes and federal FICA taxes (7.65%) still apply in full.
