Example of tax calculation
How is this schedule used? Let's demonstrate that on Joe Smith. Joe Smith is SINGLE and makes $105,000 of taxable income per year. That is his income after accounting for all deductions and exemptions.
Joe's tax will be the following:
$782.50 (tax on the first $7,825 of Joe's income, taxed at the 10% rate), plus
$3,603.75 (tax on the income between $7,825 and $31,850, taxed at the 15% rate), plus
$11,312.50 (tax on the income between $31,850 and $77,100, taxed at the 25% rate), plus
$7,812.00 (tax on the income between $77,100 and $105,000, taxed at the 28% rate)
The total will be $23,510 (rounded down).
Mary's income tax is $101,574 (rounding down). This tax consists of $7,812 tax on the amount over $77,100 (the income in the 28% tax bracket) plus $15,698.75 (the tax on income in all the lower tax brackets combined).
