Each rate applies only to the slice of taxable income inside its bracket — crossing into a higher bracket never reduces take-home pay. A Single filer with $60,000 taxable income pays 10% on the first $12,400, 12% up to $50,400, and 22% only on the remaining $9,600 — $7,912 in tax, an effective rate of 13.2%, not 22%.
