Estimate your 2025 federal income tax as an ITIN holder using the official IRS tax brackets and standard deduction. Choose your filing status, enter your income, and the calculator shows your estimated tax, your effective and marginal rates, and whether you’d get a refund or owe. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere — it runs entirely in your browser.
How to use it
Pick your filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.).
Enter your gross annual income (before taxes).
Add federal tax already withheld from your paychecks, if you know it.
The result estimates your federal tax and whether you’re due a refund or will owe.
What the results mean
Estimated federal tax — what you’d owe for the year before withholding and credits.
Effective rate — the share of your total income you actually pay; almost always lower than your bracket.
Marginal rate — the bracket your last dollar falls in.
Refund or owe — your withholding minus the estimated tax. A refund means too much was withheld; “owe” means not enough.
What it does — and doesn’t — include
It uses official 2025 federal brackets and the standard deduction. It does not include:
Every credit, itemized deductions, or complex multi-income situations
So treat it as a planning estimate, not your final return.
Filing with an ITIN — the basics
If you can’t get an SSN, you file federal taxes with an ITIN (request it on Form W-7 with your return). Filing lets you claim a refund of over-withheld tax and meet your obligation. For the complete process — applying, renewing, which credits apply — see the ITIN complete guide and how to file with an ITIN.
Informational calculator — not tax advice. Uses official IRS 2025 rates. For complex situations consult a certified preparer (CPA or Enrolled Agent).
Frequently asked questions
Is this ITIN tax calculator accurate?+
It gives a solid federal estimate using the official 2025 IRS tax brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. It is an estimate only — it does not include state or local taxes, every credit, or complex situations (multiple incomes, itemized deductions, dependents with specific rules). For your actual return, use a VITA site, tax software, or a licensed preparer.
Can I use an ITIN to file the taxes this calculator estimates?+
Yes. If you are not eligible for a Social Security number, you file your federal return using your ITIN. If you don’t have an ITIN yet, you request one on Form W-7, usually filed together with your first tax return. See our ITIN guide for the step-by-step.
What's the difference between my effective rate and marginal rate?+
Your marginal rate is the bracket your last dollar falls into; your effective rate is the percentage of your total income you actually pay after the brackets and standard deduction. Your effective rate is almost always lower than your marginal rate — useful to know so you don’t overestimate what a raise or extra job will cost you.
Which tax credits can ITIN holders claim?+
ITIN filers cannot claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (it requires an SSN). The Child Tax Credit historically required the qualifying child to have an SSN, and those rules changed for 2025 returns — verify the current year. ITIN filers may claim the $500 Credit for Other Dependents and, if otherwise eligible, education and child-care credits. See the filing-taxes guide for detail.
I'm self-employed / paid on a 1099 — does this cover me?+
This calculator estimates income tax on the figure you enter, but self-employed people also owe self-employment tax (15.3%) on net profit, which this tool doesn’t add. See our self-employment-with-ITIN guide for how Schedule C, self-employment tax, and quarterly payments work.
