That's impossible to say.

The only way to know for sure is to calculate your taxes both ways and compare.

Some people save a great deal of money. This is most likely to happen when one spouse doesn't work or earns significantly less than the other spouse.

Some people actually end up paying more. Politicians call this the "marriage penalty."

There is no way to know which group you will end up in or how much more or less you will pay without going through your individual numbers.
