How do tax brackets work?

Progressive: each bracket applies only to income in that range. Earning more never results in lower net income.

What's the difference between tax rate and effective rate?

Marginal = your highest bracket. Effective = total tax / total income. Effective always lower in progressive system.

Should I claim deductions or standard deduction?

Claim the higher amount. Standard deduction 2024: $13,850 (single), $27,700 (MFJ). Itemize if > standard.
