Single filer, $75,000 gross income, standard deduction, no pre-tax deductions. Step 1: AGI = $75,000 (no pre-tax deductions). Step 2: Taxable income = $75,000 - $15,750 standard deduction = $59,250. Step 3: Tax = 10% on first $11,925 ($1,192.50) + 12% on $11,925-$48,475 ($4,386) + 22% on $48,475-$59,250 ($2,370.50) = $7,949.00. Effective rate = $7,949 / $75,000 = 10.60%. Marginal rate = 22% (the rate on your last dollar of income).
