Example Calculation

Let's calculate the federal income tax for a single filer with $60,000 taxable income:

$11,600 at 10% = $1,160
$35,550 at 12% = $4,266
$12,850 at 22% = $2,827

Total estimated tax: $1,160 + $4,266 + $2,827 = $8,253

Example Scenario

For a married couple filing jointly with $150,000 taxable income:

$23,200 at 10% = $2,320
$71,100 at 12% = $8,532
$55,750 at 22% = $12,265

Total estimated tax: $2,320 + $8,532 + $12,265 = $23,117
