How it is worked out
Each published rate applied only to the part of the amount you enter that falls inside its own band: the lowest rate from nothing up to the published starting amount of the next band, and each rate after that from its own published starting amount up to the next. The total is rounded to the nearest cent. No deduction, exemption or credit is taken off first, so what you enter has to be taxable income.
It uses 10% rate, 10% and 12% rate, married couples, $23,200 and 12% rate, 12% and 22% rate, married couples, $94,300 and 22% rate, 22% and 24% rate, married couples, $201,050 and 24% rate, 24% and 32% rate, married couples, $383,900 and 32% rate, 32% and 35% rate, married couples, $487,450 and 35% rate, 35% and 37% rate, married couples, $731,200 and Top rate, 37%, published above.
