Standard Deduction

The standard deduction for 2025 is:

  • Single: $14,600
  • Married Filing Jointly: $29,200
  • Head of Household: $21,900

If you itemize deductions, you may be able to reduce your taxable income by more than the standard deduction. However, the standard deduction is simpler and often results in lower taxes for most taxpayers.

Calculating Taxable Income

Taxable income is calculated as:

Formula

Taxable Income = Adjusted Gross Income - Deductions

Where:

  • Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is your total income minus adjustments for certain deductions.
  • Deductions include the standard deduction or itemized deductions.

For example, if your AGI is $75,000 and you claim the standard deduction of $14,600, your taxable income would be $60,400.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the federal income tax for a single filer with $60,400 in taxable income:

  1. $0 - $11,600: $11,600 × 10% = $1,160
  2. $11,601 - $47,150: $35,549 × 12% = $4,266
  3. $47,151 - $60,400: $13,249 × 22% = $2,915

Total tax: $1,160 + $4,266 + $2,915 = $8,341

This example shows how the progressive tax system applies different rates to different portions of your income.
