How the 2026 federal income tax estimate works

Estimate regular U.S. federal individual income tax using 2026 standard deductions and progressive brackets.

Method and assumptions

Figur estimates regular 2026 U.S. federal income tax: it subtracts the entered adjustments and the larger of the standard or itemized deduction, then applies progressive brackets to taxable income.

  • It uses 2026 federal standard deductions and brackets for the selected filing status.
  • Your entered adjustments and itemized deductions are valid; the larger deduction is used.
  • State and local tax, Social Security, Medicare, and other payroll taxes are excluded.
  • It does not model credits, AMT, capital gains, net investment income tax, or special rules.

This is a planning estimate, not tax advice. Actual returns depend on applicable facts and rules; consult the IRS or a qualified tax professional.
