Estimate refund or tax owed with chart, currency selector and export options.
The Income Tax Calculator helps estimate how much tax you may owe or how much refund you can expect by calculating your taxable income, deductions, exemptions, and credits.
It is designed to simplify complex tax rules into a practical and easy-to-use estimation tool.
Taxable income is calculated by taking your gross income and subtracting deductions and exemptions such as retirement contributions or pension plans.
ATL deductions reduce adjusted gross income (AGI) and are allowed regardless of whether you itemize.
Examples include IRA contributions, student loan interest, qualified tuition expenses, and certain business expenses.
BTL deductions include the standard deduction or itemized deductions from Schedule A.
Examples include mortgage interest, charitable donations, medical expenses, and state & local taxes (SALT).
MAGI is AGI with certain deductions added back. It is used to determine eligibility for many tax deductions and credits.
Taxpayers may choose between the standard deduction or itemizing deductions.
The calculator automatically selects whichever option results in the lowest tax liability.
Tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax owed, making them more powerful than deductions.
AMT is an alternative tax system that removes many deductions. Taxpayers must pay whichever is higher: regular income tax or AMT.
