Marginal Tax Rate
Your marginal tax rate is the tax on your next (or last) dollar of taxable income.
- rate increases as tax income increases (called a progressive tax system)
- applies to investment income
For higher tax rates, investments with lower tax rates give higher after-tax returns.
| Marginal Tax Rate | Consider |
|---|---|
| higher | capital gains |
| lower | interest income |
