About This Calculator

Your effective tax rate is the real average rate you pay — total taxes paid divided by gross income. It's always lower than your marginal bracket and more meaningful for understanding your actual tax burden. This calculator works for any combination of taxes: income, payroll, capital gains, property.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

effective rate = total taxes ÷ gross income × 100; after-tax income = gross − taxes
