Your effective tax rate is the percentage of your total income that you actually pay in taxes. It is calculated by dividing your total tax paid by your total income. This rate is usually lower than your marginal tax rate (the rate on your highest dollar of income) because of progressive tax systems and deductions.
This calculator uses a single tax rate that you provide. If you want to include state, local, or other taxes, simply add them together to get your combined effective rate and enter that total. For example, if federal tax is 18% and state tax is 5%, enter 23%.
