minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish28•1 year agoLet’s make it even more simple with some fake numbers to make it super easy. $0-$10,000 - taxed at 10% $10,000-$20,000 - taxed at 20% $20,000-$30,000 - taxed at 30% If you make 9 and get a raise to 11, seems like you would now pay 20% on all that! But no. The first 10 is still taxed at 10%, only the extra $1,000 gets taxed at 20%. If you go to 31, again, the first 10 is taxed at 10, the next 10 is taxed at 20, and only the extra $1,000 gets taxed at 30%.
