Part of your income now reaches the 22% federal bracket. Because brackets are marginal, only the dollars inside that bracket are taxed at 22% — your average (effective) rate stays well below your top rate. Pre-tax retirement contributions are especially efficient at this income because each dollar deferred avoids tax at your highest marginal rate.
Arizona note: Flat 2.5%. Arizona's standard deduction conforms to the federal standard deduction by statute (2026 federal amounts applied). Arizona has no separate personal exemption.
