Estimate your federal tax refund or amount owed using 2025 tax brackets. Enter your income, filing status, and deductions to get an accurate estimate.
Enter your annual W2 wages, the total federal tax withheld from your paychecks, and select your filing status. The calculator will estimate your tax liability based on 2025 tax brackets and determine whether you'll receive a refund or owe money.
You can choose between the standard deduction or itemized deductions. The standard deduction amounts for 2025 are: $15,000 for single filers, $30,000 for married filing jointly, and $22,500 for head of household. If your itemized deductions (mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state taxes, etc.) exceed the standard deduction, itemizing may lower your tax bill.
The calculator shows your estimated tax refund or amount owed, your total tax liability, effective tax rate, and taxable income. A positive refund means you overpaid during the year; a negative amount means you may owe additional tax. The step-by-step breakdown shows exactly how each calculation is performed.
