Tax brackets divide income into ranges, each taxed at its own rate that rises as income increases. Moving into a higher bracket only raises the rate on the income within that bracket, not on everything you earn — a common misunderstanding. Brackets are adjusted for inflation each year.
Earning $1 into a higher bracket taxes only that $1 at the higher rate, not your whole salary.
