Formula Used

The tax refund is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

• Taxable Income = Gross Income - Deductions
• Tax Liability = Taxable Income × Tax Rate

The tax rate used in the calculation is based on the 2022 US federal tax brackets.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works. Suppose you have the following details:

• Gross Income: $50,000
• Deductions: $10,000
• Tax Credits: $500

Using the calculator with these values:

1. Taxable Income = $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000
2. Tax Liability = $40,000 × 22% (federal tax rate) = $8,800
3. Tax Refund = ($40,000 - $8,800) - $500 = $30,700

Your estimated tax refund would be $30,700 based on these inputs.
