Frequently Asked Questions

How do brackets work?

Marginal rates apply per slice: income into a 30% bracket pays 30% only on that slice, not everything. Effective rate always trails the top bracket.

Which regime/deductions?

US filing statuses (single, married filing jointly, head of household) with one standard-deduction figure, a state rate, and flat FICA — no itemized path and no 80C-style regimes. Rules change yearly — verify current law.

Estimate vs filing?

Estimates guide planning and advance tax; filings follow official forms and current rules. Never submit estimates as returns.

Is income data uploaded?

No — math runs locally in your browser. Income never leaves your device.

Can you work the $80,000 default?

Single filer, $14,600 deduction, 5% state: taxable $65,400 gives Federal $9,441 across the 10/12/22% slices, State $3,270, FICA $6,120 (7.65% of gross) — $18,831 total, 23.5% effective, $61,169 take-home. The brackets are built-in 2024 tables, so verify current law before relying on it.
