What this excludes: Federal single-filer income tax brackets only — excludes state income tax and any state-specific deductions or credits. FICA figures shown are federal payroll tax (Social Security + Medicare), not income tax; the Additional Medicare Tax threshold shown ($200,000) is the employer-withholding threshold and applies regardless of filing status — the individual's actual liability threshold can differ ($250,000 married filing jointly, $125,000 married filing separately) but that is reconciled on the tax return, not at payroll withholding.
