A graduated income tax is one that imposes a higher tax rate the higher your income. For example, the first $10,000 that you earn might be taxed at a rate of 5 percent, the next $15,000 at 15 percent and any income above $25,000 would be taxed at 30 percent. The tax rates only apply to the income in that category.
The rate of tax at the federal level is graduated; that is, the tax rates of higher amounts of income are higher than on lower amounts. Some states and localities impose an income tax at a graduated rate, and some at a flat rate on all taxable income. The highest marginal tax rate for individuals for U.S. federal income tax purposes for tax years 1952 and 1953 was 92%. 2  Since 1964, the threshold for paying top income tax rate has generally been between $200,000 and $400,000.
