(1) See the federal tax rates page for information on the enhanced federal personal amount, which increases the marginal tax rates for taxable incomes in the second highest federal tax bracket.  The marginal tax rates in blue above have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

(2) An additional $3,000 personal amount for 2018 and subsequent years, which is reduced at the rate of 6% of taxable income in excess of $25,000, is reflected in the purple marginal tax rates above.  It is reduced to zero at taxable income of $75,000.  This increases the marginal tax rates for taxable incomes over $25,000 and under $75,000.  The regular personal amount of $8,481 does not affect marginal tax rates for taxable income over $8,481, because it is not reduced as taxable income increases.
