Fairly certain this calculator fails to account for Sanders' proposed lifting of the Social Security tax cap for (presumably household?) earnings over $250,000. That's a fake 6.2% and real 12.4% marginal income tax hike. Also the brackets don't match up with this analysis[2], though I have no idea who's right. That analysis also suggests Sanders' plan adds another employer-paid payroll tax of 6.2%! I'm not sure how that overlaps with the "Medicare for All" tax. Let's assume they're not cumulative. The result is still something like a real 60% marginal rate on a household with two $150,000 earners. Before state and local taxes, of course. EDIT: No, of course, the 2.2% employee and 6.2% employer taxes are cumulative! It's disingenuous to imply that your wages aren't being taxed if your employer pays the tax instead of you.
