Tax Rates, Tax Brackets Through the Years2010 through 2023

The taxes we pay depend on two things.

Congress sets the rates and a baseline income amount that falls into them when a tax law is created or changed. Then the Internal Revenue Service adjusts the income brackets each year, usually in late October or early November, based on inflation.

Here's a look at income tax rates and brackets over the years.
