whats this for?

And are you retarded? (or am I?) I casually browse this board, but the answer is obviously 20%, as thats how much in taxes you are paying in both examples they give. How do you spend 20m looking for this?

>>1622736
wow you really are dumb. to be more clear...

20% of 40,000 is 8000
20% of 50,000 is 11,000

The marginal tax rate is 20%

Oh bc new math. Just look up the rate in the IRS schedule it's in the appendix. Text says to assume Iowa or Alaska if you aren't sure

Tax rates are applied in $1 increments duh

Isnt it 3000 ÷ 10000?

In the first question, he paid $8000 in taxes on his first $40k.

Then he made another $10k, and paid $3000 more (bringing total tax paid up to $11k) in taxes.

$3k is 30% of $10k.

So his marginal tax rate--the $3k tax he paid on the extra $10 he got taxed on--was 30%.

look up how marginal tax rates work

it's not very complicated, but you'd be surprised how many people misunderstand them and do stupid things like working fewer hours to keep themselves in a lower tax bracket

That's what I thought, the marginal rate would be (11k-8k)3k ÷(50k-40k)10k = 30%
