Self employed

This blended tax rate is inclusive of the 15.3% self-employment tax on your net self-employment.  Then that is added into the calculation with the income tax on your general taxable income (your net income from self-employment less your standard or itemized deductions.)  

So, your blended tax rate is a bit higher than your marginal income tax rate when reporting self-employment income.
