ADDED NEW VERSION 2/10/2009
Recently the CBO published a supplement to their Historical Effective Federal Tax Rates: 1979 to 2005 report to include a breakdown of top 1% into smaller percentiles. I took the data for income and created this visualization. It is comparing the minimum income for each percentile to the average income in that percentile.

I updated a previous graph, comparing the effective tax rates for the Federal Individual Income and Social Insurance (payroll) by adding Excise and Corporate Income. Additionally, I added the tax rates for the Top 1%. Note: the effective tax rate increases for both individual and corporate income the higher the household’s income, while the social insurance and excise tax rate decreases.

I created this graph showing the average income for different household percentiles, comparing pretax income and aftertax income. The minimum income threshold for each percentile is noted in the graph.

Inspired by the tax rate graph in my previous post, I created this graph comparing the effective tax rates for the Federal Individual Income tax and Social Insurance (payroll) tax by household quintile. The Earned Income Tax Credit accounts for the negative individual income tax rate for the lowest and second quintiles.

In an earlier post, I had a graph showing the Historical Tax Rates by Income Group using data from Pitketty & Saez. Here is another graph (found on Greg Mankiw’s Blog) which shows historical tax rates by income group but this time the data is from the Congressional Budget Office.
Addendum 3/3/08
The large difference between the two graphs is due to the treatment of payroll taxes paid by employers and the corporate income tax. The Pitketty & Saez data assumes these taxes are actually paid by employees and stockholders but the CBO data in the above graph does not include them.
