| Married Filing Jointly | $0 - $19,400 | $19,401 - $78,950 | $78,951 - $168,400 | $168,401 - $321,450 | $321,451 - $408,200 | $408,201 - $612,350 | $612,351+ |
| Married Filing Separately | $0 - $9,700 | $9,701 - $39,475 | $39,476 - $84,200 | $84,201 - $160,725 | $160,726 - $204,100 | $204,101 - $306,175 | $306,176+ |

Standard Deduction
The standard deduction for 2019 is as follows:
- Single: $12,200
- Married Filing Jointly: $24,400
- Married Filing Separately: $12,200
- Head of Household: $18,350
If you claim the standard deduction, you subtract this amount from your total income to determine your taxable income.
Calculating Taxable Income
Taxable income is calculated by subtracting your deductions from your total income. The formula is:
Taxable Income = Total Income - Deductions
For most taxpayers, the standard deduction is the most common deduction. However, you may also be eligible for other deductions such as the student loan interest deduction or the educator expense deduction.
Example Calculation
Let's look at an example to illustrate how the tax calculator works. Suppose you are a single taxpayer with a total income of $50,000 for 2019.
- Subtract the standard deduction of $12,200 from your total income: $50,000 - $12,200 = $37,800 taxable income.
- Determine your tax bracket. For a single taxpayer, the tax brackets are:
- 10% on the first $9,700
- 12% on the next $29,775 ($9,701 - $39,475)
- 22% on the remaining $7,800 ($39,476 - $47,275)
- Calculate your tax:
- $9,700 × 10% = $970
- $29,775 × 12% = $3,573
- $7,800 × 22% = $1,716
- Add up the tax amounts: $970 + $3,573 + $1,716 = $6,259
Therefore, your estimated federal income tax for 2019 would be $6,259.
