Standard deduction, no dependents
~$4,258 federal tax (effective rate: 8.5%)
Calculate federal income tax on a $75,000 salary for a single filer.
Federal tax: ~$9,356 (effective rate: 12.5%)
After the $15,000 standard deduction, taxable income is $60,000. This falls in the 22% bracket but the effective rate is only 12.5% because lower brackets are taxed at 10% and 12% first. Take-home after federal tax: ~$65,644/year or $5,470/month.
Standard deduction, married filing jointly
~$6,717 federal tax (effective rate: 6.7%)
Calculate federal income tax for a married couple filing jointly at $150,000.
Federal tax: ~$15,748 (effective rate: 10.5%)
Married filing jointly with $30,000 standard deduction leaves $120,000 taxable income. The larger brackets for joint filers mean a lower effective rate of 10.5%. Take-home: ~$134,252/year or $11,188/month before state taxes.
