Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between effective and marginal rate?▾
Marginal rate is the rate applied to your highest dollar of income. Effective rate is total tax ÷ total income — always lower because lower income is taxed at lower rates.
Does this include state tax or National Insurance?▾
No — US shows federal tax only (no state income tax). UK shows income tax only (no National Insurance, student loans or pension deductions).
How accurate is this?▾
This is an estimate for educational purposes using current official brackets. Individual circumstances vary significantly — consult a qualified tax professional for accurate advice.
