Example of a tax computation
Income tax:
- $40,000 (adjusted gross income)
- $7,825 × 0.10 = $782.50
- ($31,850 – $7,825) × 0.15 = $3,603.75
- ($40,000 – $31,850) × 0.25 = $2,037.50
- Total income tax = $6,423.75 (16.06% of income)
Note that in addition to income tax, a wage earner would also have to pay FICA (payroll) tax (and an equal amount of FICA tax must be paid by the employer):
- $40,000 (adjusted gross income)
- $40,000 × 0.062 = $2,480 (Social Security portion)
- $40,000 × 0.0145 = $580 (Medicare portion)
- Total FICA tax = $3,060 (7.65% of income)
- Total federal tax of individual = $9,483.75 (23.71% of income)
