USD
Wages Income 150,000.00
Dividend Income (Net Investment Income) 90,000.00
Modified adjusted gross income 240,000.00
Threshold Income (for single taxpayers) 200,000.00
Excess than threshold (240,000-200,000) 40,000.00
Taxpayer's Net investment Income (dividend) 90,000.00
Net Investment Income Tax= 3.8% of Excess than threshold or Dividend income (whichever is less)
NIIT whichever is lesser 90,000*3.8%= 3,420.00
or  
40,000*3.8%= 1,520.00
Net investment income tax she must pay is $1,520
