The calculation of our effective tax rate is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except percentages):
Three Months Ended
March 31,
2022 2021
Income before income taxes $ 124,389  $ 62,027 
Income tax expense $ 26,489  $ 11,975 
Effective tax rate 21.3  % 19.3  %
For interim periods, our income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions, and other items.
