Worked Example
Let's calculate the estimated federal income tax for a single filer with $50,000 in taxable income using the 2013 tax brackets:
- First $8,925 at 10%: $8,925 × 0.10 = $892.50
- Next $27,325 ($36,250 - $8,925) at 15%: $27,325 × 0.15 = $4,100.75
- Remaining $8,750 ($50,000 - $36,250) at 25%: $8,750 × 0.25 = $2,187.50
Total estimated federal income tax: $892.50 + $4,100.75 + $2,187.50 = $7,180.75
