These estimates cover wages only. They use the standard deduction and no credits. Some things would lower your federal tax, and they are not here: the 2026 child tax credit ($2,200 per child) and the 2025–2028 deductions for tips (up to $25,000), qualified overtime (up to $12,500, or $25,000 married), seniors 65+ ($6,000 each) and car-loan interest (up to $10,000). If any of those apply to you, your real federal tax is lower.
