Worked Example
Let's calculate the federal income tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $50,000 in 2013.
- First $8,925 at 10%: $8,925 × 0.10 = $892.50
- Next $27,325 ($36,250 - $8,925) at 15%: $27,325 × 0.15 = $4,100.75
- Remaining $8,725 ($50,000 - $36,250) at 25%: $8,725 × 0.25 = $2,181.25
Total Federal Income Tax = $892.50 + $4,100.75 + $2,181.25 = $7,174.50
Using the calculator with these inputs would yield the same result.
