Income tax is progressive: deductions set the taxable base, brackets price each slice, credits cut the bill directly. Withholding and quarterly estimates only prepay that liability.

Concept Explanation

Taxable = income − deductions. Apply each bracket rate to its slice, sum, subtract credits. Marginal prices the next dollar; effective averages all dollars. Pre-tax contributions and well-timed deductions move dollars out of high slices.
