It's $134/month is your annual joint income is less than $170,000.
Yes. The rate steps up with income over a total of five base levels. It hits singles at half the income level of the married filing jointly income level so a single pays the very top rate when he or she reaches an income of $214,000; a married person filing separately pays the top part B rate at an income above $129,000.
