Tax Math:
Income - Standard Deduction = Taxable Income.
Taxable Income is progressively taxed through brackets (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%).
Note: The "Marriage Penalty" usually occurs when two high earners combine incomes and get pushed into higher tax brackets faster than they would individually. A "Bonus" usually occurs when one person earns significantly more than the other.
