Yes. FICA is shown separately: 6.2% Social Security up to the $176,100 wage base plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages, with an extra 0.9% above $200,000.
Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar (your top bracket). Your effective rate is your total tax divided by your income — usually much lower because lower brackets tax the earlier portions.
State tax uses a rough average rate per state and is a rough guide only. Many states have their own brackets, deductions and credits, so treat it as an estimate, not a filing figure.
It uses 2025 brackets and the $15,750/$31,500 standard deduction — the figures for income earned in 2025 and filed in 2026. For 2026 the standard deduction rises to $16,100 single / $32,200 joint.
