Assume that you face the marginal tax rate schedule below and your income is $66,453. What is your total tax?
Income Marginal Tax rate
Up to $15,600 10%
$15,600-63,000 15%
$63,000-128,500 25%
Over $128,500 33%
Given that, total taxable income=$66,453
Using the marginal tax rate, we will have the following tax
amounts:
Up to $15,600 tax rate is 10%
Tax amount for $15,600=$15600*10%=$1560
Amount above $15600 and up to $63000 is charged with a tax rate of 15%.
Taxable income under 15% tax rate is $63000-$15600=$47400
Tax amount=$47400*15%=$7110
Amount above $63,000 up to $128,500 is charged with a tax rate
of 25%.
Amount above $63,000 =$66,453-$63,000=$3453
Tax amount for $3453=$3453*25%=$863.25
Total tax amount=$1560+$7110+$863.25=$9533.25
