What are the different tax brackets in the US?

In the U.S., the tax system is based on marginal tax brackets, with different levels of income taxed at different rates. If you have a taxable income of $42,000 in 2021, for example, and you file as a single taxpayer, the first $9,950 is subject to 10% tax, the next $30,575 is subject to 12% tax, and the remaining $1,475 is subject to 22% tax.

Why do I get into a higher tax bracket?

Because the United States has a progressive, or marginal tax rate system, when an increase in income pushes you into a higher tax bracket, you only pay the higher tax rate on that portion of your income that exceeds the income threshold for the next-highest tax bracket.
