The United States has a progressive tax system, whichmeans that tax rates increase as household income rises (see below). For example, if a married couple files jointly and has a taxable income of $100,000 in 2023 (after applicable deductions and exemptions), they fall into the 22% tax bracket. However, they will not pay this rate on all of their income, only on the amount over $89,450. In this case, 22% is their marginal tax rate or top tax rate.
