For an annual income of $40,000:
- Taxable income: $40,000
- Tax: $40,000 × 5.05% = $2,020
- Net pay: $40,000 - $2,020 = $37,980
Example 2: Middle Income
For an annual income of $80,000:
- First $49,020: $49,020 × 5.05% = $2,451
- Next $30,980: $30,980 × 9.15% = $2,833
- Total tax: $2,451 + $2,833 = $5,284
- Net pay: $80,000 - $5,284 = $74,716
