It is important to realize that if your taxable income is one dollar into the next tax bracket, it is only that dollar that is taxed at the higher rate.

​

Example: Taxable income of $120,000

​

• First $57,375 taxed at approximately 17% after personal exemption

• Next $57,375 taxed at approximately 30.5%

• Remaining $5,250 taxed at approximately 36%
