How 15% Tax Works

The 15% tax rate is a flat rate applied to your taxable income. Here's how it works:

Taxable Income = Income - Deductions

Tax Amount = Taxable Income × 15%

For example, if you earn $50,000 and have $10,000 in deductions, your taxable income is $40,000. Applying the 15% rate gives you a tax amount of $6,000.

This simple calculation is useful for understanding basic tax liability, but real-world tax systems often have more complex rules and rates.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Single Income

If you earn $40,000 and have no deductions:

  • Taxable Income = $40,000 - $0 = $40,000
  • Tax Amount = $40,000 × 15% = $6,000

Your total tax liability would be $6,000.

Example 2: Income with Deductions

If you earn $60,000 and have $15,000 in deductions:

  • Taxable Income = $60,000 - $15,000 = $45,000
  • Tax Amount = $45,000 × 15% = $6,750

Your total tax liability would be $6,750.
