The US uses a progressive tax system with tax brackets. Your income is taxed at different rates as it moves into higher brackets.
Effective Tax Rate
Your effective rate (14.95%) is the total tax divided by your total income. This is the true percentage of your income that goes to taxes.
Marginal Tax Rate
Your marginal rate (22%) is the tax rate on your next dollar of income. This matters for decisions like contributing to 401(k)s or charitable giving, as these reduce income taxed at your marginal rate.
If you earn $1 more, you'll pay roughly 22% on it (your marginal rate), not 14.95% (your effective rate). This is why pre-tax retirement contributions are valuable—they reduce income taxed at your marginal rate.
