marginal tax rates
Incremental income levies
Marginal tax rates are the percentage of tax applied to the next dollar of income, not to total income.
Tax systems typically use brackets—income up to a threshold is taxed at one rate, income above it at a higher rate.
Someone "in the 35% bracket" pays 35% only on income exceeding that bracket's floor, not on every dollar earned.
Moving into a higher bracket doesn't mean all your income gets taxed at that rate.
