In this episode of Money Moves with Maggie, Maggie Shipley breaks down a common tax-time myth: that moving into a higher tax bracket means all your income is taxed at that rate. Not true.
Using a real-world example with 2024 numbers, Maggie shows how marginal tax brackets work—and why your effective tax rate is almost always lower than your top bracket.
If you’ve ever worried that a raise could cost you more in taxes than it’s worth, this is for you.
Watch now to gain clarity and feel more confident about your income and taxes.
