This is the tax rate applied to your last dollar of income. If you earn an additional dollar, you'll pay 22 cents in federal tax on that dollar.
This is your actual average tax rate - the total tax you pay divided by your total income. It's always lower than your marginal rate due to progressive taxation.
The US uses a progressive tax system, meaning your income is taxed in layers. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. For example, if you're in the 22% bracket, only the portion of your income above the 12% bracket threshold is taxed at 22% - not your entire income.
