The 1 percent isn't the only group facing a tax increase -- according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, the tax package passed by Congress will raise taxes on 77% of households.
The average tax increase for U.S. households paying higher taxes would be about $1,635.
But what about the 1 percent? Under the new budget deal, the top 1 percent of taxpayers will have to pay an average tax increase of $73,633.
The very wealthy top 0.1 percent would see an average tax increase of $446,323.
Bloomberg reports that those with incomes over $2.7 million would pay 26 percent of the additional taxes, leaving their after-tax income reduced by 8.4 percent.
