$50,001 to $75,00025%
$75,001 to $100,00034%
$100,001 to $335,00039%
$335,001 to $10,000,00034%
$10,000,001 to $15,000,00035%
$15,000,001 to $18,333,33338%
$18,333,334 and above35%

$18,333,334 and above35%

Tax bubble refers to the rise in the marginal tax rate in order to match the average tax rate. The 38 percent tax bracket and the 39 percent tax bracket are tax bubbles because they help to maintain the average tax rate of 34 percent and 35 percent respectively.
