See Hint
If you have a taxable income of $323,420.00, what is your
top marginal tax
rate? %
total tax bill? $
average tax
rate? %
Solution:-
Taxable Income = $3, 23,420
(a)Marginal tax rate = 35%
(b) Total Tax Bill = 9,700 x 10% + (39,475 - 9,700) x 12% + (84,200 - 39,475) x 22% + (160,725 - 84,200) x 24% + (160,725 – 204,100) * 32% + (3,23,420 - 204,100 ) * 35%
= (9,700 * 10%) + (29,775 * 12%) + (44,725 * 22%) + (76,525 * 24%) + (43,375 * 32%) + (1,19,320 * 35%)
= 970 + 3573 + 9839.5 + 18366 + 13880 + 41762
= 88,390.5
(c) Average tax rate = Total tax bill / Taxable Income * 100
= 88,390.5 / 3,23,420 * 100
= 0.2733 * 100
= 27.33%
