Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax refund for a single filer with $60,000 income and $5,000 deductions:

  1. First $41,908 taxed at 5.05%: $41,908 × 0.0505 = $2,117.94
  2. Next $18,092 taxed at 9.15%: $18,092 × 0.0915 = $1,655.67
  3. Total tax before deductions: $2,117.94 + $1,655.67 = $3,773.61
  4. Subtract deductions: $3,773.61 - $5,000 = -$1,226.39

This means the filer would receive a tax refund of $1,226.39.
