What tax bracket am I in?
US tax brackets are marginal — only income within each bracket is taxed at that rate. At $80K taxable income (single, 2024): effective rate is ~17%, not the 22% marginal bracket. Understanding marginal vs effective rate prevents leaving money on the table with 401k contributions and deductions.
