How this is calculated
- Each 2018 bracket threshold, the 2024 standard deduction, the 65+ amounts and the child tax credit are raised by the cost-of-living adjustment in IRC section 1(f): the average chained CPI-U for September 2025 to August 2026, as published when BLS released the August 2026 index, divided by the average for the base year, then rounded down as the law and the IRS's published figures require ($25 steps for single brackets, $50 for joint and head of household, $100 for the child tax credit). October 2025 was never published, so the average uses the 11 published months.
Projected figures change to the IRS figures the day they are published.
When will the IRS release the 2027 tax brackets?
