🧮 How We Calculate
AGI = Other Income + Winnings – Losses (if itemizing, capped at winnings).
Taxable Income = AGI – Standard Deduction (2026 est: $15,000 single, $30,000 married).
Federal Tax = sum of bracket rates applied to taxable income.
We use 2026 projected brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, 37%. Results are estimates.
