Worked Example

Let's calculate a tax return for a single filer with $50,000 in income, $5,000 in deductions, and $2,000 in tax credits.

1. Taxable Income = $50,000 - $5,000 = $45,000
2. Tax = $45,000 × 5.05% (first bracket) + ($45,000 - $45,916) × 9.15% (second bracket) = $2,273 + $3,540 = $5,813
3. Tax Return = ($5,813 - $2,000) - $5,000 = $813

In this example, the filer would receive an estimated $813 tax refund.
