So these new numbers are for 2025. matched

The brackets going up a little means it takes more income to reach each higher tax bracket. matched

So someone who makes about the same would owe just a little bit less in taxes. matched

For example, someone earning $120,000 and then they take the standard deduction, they would owe about $400 less. matched

What about people who are going to make slightly more next year? matched

Once your income goes up, the savings is a little less. matched

But the IRS is lifting all boats. matched

You're always better off because more income is being taxed in the lower brackets at a lower rate. matched

So that's important to note. matched

That doesn't mean they're paying 24% on all their taxable income. matched

That could just be the top sliver. matched

For 2025, for a single person, it's above about $103,000. matched

That's at that 24%. matched

The first sliver of their income up to $12,000 is just taxed at 10%, then the next sliver at 12%, then 22%. matched

Going back to that hypothetical $120,000 salary person, their effective tax rate would be more like 15%. matched

That's rising to $15,000 for individuals, and that's up from $14,600 this year. matched

For married couples, it's double. matched

It's $30,000 up from $29,200. matched

That's important because you're either taking the standard deduction or you're itemizing deductions. matched

And itemized deductions are things like charitable donations and medical expenses. matched
