What is your marginal tax rate?
What is your average tax rate?
You had $4400 withheld from your paychecks for federal taxes. When you file your return will you have a refund or owe money? How much?
TAX RATE |
AMOUNT |
10% |
UPTO $9700 |
12% |
$ 9701 TO $ 39475 |
1) TAX LIABILITY = (9700*10%) + (25900*12%)
TAX LIABILITY = 970+ 3108
TAX LIABILTY = $ 4078
2) MARGINAL TAX RATE
marginal tax rate is the tax rate you would pay on one more dollar of taxable income. This typically equates to your tax bracket.
As income is increased by $1 then he has to pay tax @12%
So Marginal Tax Rate is 12%
3) AVERAGE TAX RATE =
= TOTAL TAXES / TOTAL INCOME
= (4078 / 35600)*100
= 11.455%
4) IF $4400 WITHHELD TAX
REFUND = WITHHELD TAX – TAX PAYABLE
REFUND = 4400-4078
REFUND = $322
SO YOU WILL GET REFUND OF $ 322
