Taxes Â» Tax Brackets. Taxpayers fall into one of 7 brackets, depending on their taxable income: 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35% or 39.6%. Because the U.S. tax system is a progressive one, as income rises, increasingly higher taxes are imposed. But those in the highest bracket dont pay the highest rate on all their income. For example, in 2016, single individuals pay 39.6% only on income above $415,050 (above $466,950 for married filing jointly); the lower tax rates are levied at the income brackets below that amount, as shown in the table below.
Indiana reduced its individual income tax rate from 3.3 to 3.23 percent.[3] Maine voters approved a 3 percent surcharge on the top individual income tax bracket, raising the rate to 10.15 percent. The state now has the second highest top rate in the country.[4] North Carolina reduced its income tax rate from 5.75 to 5.499 percent as part of a broader tax reform package.[5]
