What Are Tax Brackets? 

Tax brackets determine how much federal income tax you owe. They’re based on your taxable income.

Federal Income Tax Adjustments in 2025 

Good news! Federal tax brackets are adjusted yearly for inflation. 2025 might bring you more take-home pay!

How Inflation Impacts Your Paycheck 

As inflation rises, tax brackets shift, so you might stay in a lower tax bracket, even with a raise.

Federal Income Tax Rates Stay the Same 

The federal income tax rates won’t change, but shifting brackets mean more income stays untaxed!

What’s Happening to Standard Deductions? 

Standard deductions are likely increasing in 2025, which means you keep more of your paycheck.

Higher Income? Less Worry! 

Even if your income increases, you might not owe as much thanks to adjusted federal tax brackets.

Why This Matters for Your Budget 

More take-home pay means more room in your budget for savings, fun, or paying down debt.

Don’t Forget State Taxes 

State income tax rules vary, so check your local rates to see the full picture.
