Since 1981, the IRS has annually adjusted most tax brackets based on the previous year’s CPI. This inflation adjustment protects taxpayers from bracket creep, which is when taxpayers face more progressive taxes due to inflation alone.
This article contains some of the most relevant 2025 federal income tax bracket figures.
If you are looking for contribution limits, those are in our article 2025 Contribution Limits.
