The 22% federal income tax bracket is one of the most common tax rates applied to middle-income earners in the United States. In 2024, this bracket applies to:
- Single filers earning $47,151 to $100,525
- Married filing jointly: $94,301 to $201,050
Being in the 22% bracket doesn’t mean all your income is taxed at 22%. Only the portion that falls into this range is taxed at that rate. Income below that is taxed at lower rates.
Understanding where your income lands helps with planning — from adjusting your withholdings to maximizing retirement contributions.
