How to calculate your income tax using the income tax scale?
1. Determine your taxable income
Your taxable income is your total income minus certain deductions and exemptions. To calculate your taxable income, you will need to gather all of your income documents, such as your W-2s, 1099s, and any other documents that show your income. You will also need to gather all of your expense documents, such as your receipts for charitable donations, mortgage interest, and any other expenses that you can deduct from your income.
2. Find your tax bracket
Once you have calculated your taxable income, you will need to find your tax bracket. The tax brackets are based on your filing status and your taxable income. The tax brackets for 2023 are as follows:
- Single:
- 10% on taxable income up to $10,275
- 12% on taxable income between $10,275 and $41,775

3. Calculate your tax liability
Once you have found your tax bracket, you can calculate your tax liability. To do this, you will need to multiply your taxable income by the tax rate for your bracket. For example, if your taxable income is $50,000 and you are filing as a single taxpayer, your tax liability would be $9,245 (50,000 x 18.49%).
4. Subtract your tax credits and deductions
Once you have calculated your tax liability, you will need to subtract any tax credits and deductions that you are eligible for. Tax credits are dollar-for-dollar reductions in your tax liability, while deductions reduce your taxable income. Some common tax credits include the child tax credit, the earned income tax credit, and the saver’s credit. Some common deductions include the standard deduction, the itemized deduction, and the deduction for student loan interest.
5. Pay your taxes
Once you have subtracted your tax credits and deductions, you will need to pay your taxes. You can pay your taxes online, by mail, or through a tax preparer. If you owe more than $1,000 in taxes, you may be required to make estimated tax payments throughout the year.
Here are some tips for calculating your income tax:
- Use a tax calculator. There are many free tax calculators available online that can help you calculate your tax liability.
- Gather all of your income and expense documents. This will help you ensure that you are claiming all of the deductions and credits that you are eligible for.
- File your taxes on time. The deadline for filing your taxes is April 15th. If you file your taxes late, you may be subject to penalties and interest charges.
- Get help from a tax preparer. If you are not comfortable preparing your own taxes, you can hire a tax preparer to help you.
