Dit zijn de getallen die elke Amerikaanse belastingcalculator nodig heeft voordat er ook maar iets berekend kan worden: de zeven schijven per aangiftestatus, de standaardaftrek, de tarieven van de zelfstandigenbelasting en het loonplafond waar ze stoppen, de drempels van sectie 199A, de percentages van de veilige haven, de vier betaaldata, beide kilometertarieven voor 2026 en de meldgrenzen van formulier 1099-K. Ze liggen verspreid over een uitvoeringsbesluit, drie IRS-formulieren, een brochure, twee stukken uit het Internal Revenue Bulletin, een wet en een actuariële pagina van de sociale zekerheid.
We moesten ze bij elkaar zoeken om onze eigen belastingwerkmap te bouwen. In plaats van de tabel voor onszelf te houden publiceren we hem: gratis, machineleesbaar en met de bronnen erbij.
Hoe elk getal is gecontroleerd
Elke waarde is uit het originele document zelf gelezen — het uitvoeringsbesluit, het formulier, de brochure, de wet of de actuariële pagina — nooit uit een samenvatting, een blogbericht of een tabel uit de tweede hand. De datum in de laatste kolom is de dag waarop dat document werkelijk is opgehaald en gelezen.
De twee modellen die de tabel bevatten toetsen zichzelf bij elke build aan met de hand uitgerekende voorbeelden, en weigeren iets te leveren zodra een constante haar bron, haar URL, haar controledatum of haar geverifieerde status mist. De bestanden hierboven worden door die build geschreven, dus een ongecontroleerd getal kan er niet in komen.
Veel regels dragen bovendien een kruiscontrole: waar twee documenten hetzelfde getal drukken worden beide genoemd, en waar een wijdverbreid getal voor 2026 onjuist is, zegt de notitie dat en geeft het juiste.
Licentie: CC0 1.0
Deze tabel is met CC0 1.0 aan het publieke domein gegeven. Belastingconstanten zijn feiten uit het Amerikaanse federale recht en uit officiële publicaties: feiten zijn niet auteursrechtelijk te beschermen, en werken van de Amerikaanse federale overheid evenmin.
CC0 neemt de laatste twijfel over de verzameling zelf weg, zodat iedereen haar zonder te vragen in een spreadsheet, een database of een product mag overnemen. Een link terug is welkom, maar geen voorwaarde.
Wat hier niet in zit
Alleen federaal recht van de Verenigde Staten, en alleen belastingjaar 2026. Geen staats- of stadsbelasting, geen heffingskortingen, geen loonaangifte van werkgevers, niets uit een ander jaar. Het is een naslagtabel, geen belastingadvies — controleer elk getal in het gelinkte document voordat je erop vertrouwt.
- State and city income tax of any kind. This is United States federal law only.
- Tax credits — earned income, child, education, premium tax credit and every other credit.
- Payroll tax as an employer files it (Forms 941/940), and W-2 withholding tables.
- Corporate, partnership and S-corporation returns; anything that is not an individual return with self-employment income.
- Any tax year other than 2026, and any tax act passed after the verification date above.
- Platform selling fees, which drift constantly and are not law. They are not part of this dataset.
De constanten
De tabel zelf blijft Engels: het is een Amerikaanse federale naslagtabel en alle brondocumenten zijn in het Engels geschreven.
Each note is reproduced verbatim from the model that holds the constant — cross-checks, the exact form line, the sentence quoted from the source. Where a note says “the brief”, it means the internal specification these models were written against: in two places that specification carried a figure that turned out to be the 2025 one, and the note records the correction and the document it came from.

Wat de kolom „basis” betekent
Ze beantwoordt één vraag: wanneer moet dit getal opnieuw worden gelezen? Dat is het verschil tussen een tabel die waardig veroudert en een die in januari stilletjes fout staat.
- indexed
- Inflation-adjusted every year. Must be re-read from the new revenue procedure (or the SSA base page) before any later tax year is modelled.
- statutory
- Fixed in the Internal Revenue Code with no inflation adjustment. Changes only if Congress acts.
- structural
- A rate, ratio, date rule or form mechanic. Changes only if the IRS redesigns the form.
- indexed-from-2027
- Fixed for tax year 2026 but scheduled to start indexing for years beginning after 2026. The value most likely to be silently wrong in a model carried forward.
- annual-notice
- Set by the IRS for the year in a notice, and capable of being changed mid-year by a later announcement — as the 2026 business mileage rate was.
- prescribed
- A rate prescribed by a revenue procedure and left unchanged since. Not indexed; re-check only if that procedure is superseded.
