Income Tax
Hi All,
Can someone come up with a formula on how to work out how much tax is paid on a person's income. Tax rates are as follows $0 - $14,000 = 12.5% $14,000 - $48,000 = 21% $48,000 - $70,000 = 33% $70,000+ = 38% E30 = Income J30 = Target Cell I have no idea how to attack this so can even offer a formula that does not work!! -- Thanks in advance.

Thanks Demi,
This formula appears to tax the entire income at the rate the income fits into instead of taxing the income on the tiers as it passes through them. e.g. on the 80,000.00 income the formula would have to work out the following The first $14,000 @ 12.5% + the income between $14,000 and $48,000 @ 21% + the income between $48,000 and $70,000 @ 33% + $10,000 @ 38%. as i see it the formula you sent to me taxes the whole 80,000 at 38% which is not accurate. Do you have a formula that completes the above example? -- Thanks in advance. Scoober "demi" wrote: =IF(E30<14000,0.125,IF(E30<48000,0.21,IF(E30<70000 ,0.33,0.38)))*E30 "Scoober" дÈëÓʼþ ...

The content of your E30 must be text, not a number. Check with =ISTEXT(E30)
and =ISNUMBER(E30). -- David Biddulph "Scoober" wrote in message ... Hi Vijay, When i tried your formula i got the message #Value!

Easiest, in my opinion, to both understand and maintain, is to use an lookup table. Set up a table someplace on your worksheet with the tax tiers, amount of tax on each tier, and the marginal amount. I used the range J2:L5 The table will look like: Tier Amount Rate $ 0.00 $ 0.00 12.5% $14,000.00 $ 1,750.00 21.0% $48,000.00 $ 8,890.00 33.0% $70,000.00 $16,150.00 38.0% or, showing the formula in the second column: Tier Amount Rate 0 0 0.125 14000 =K2+(J3-J2)*L2 0.21 48000 =K3+(J4-J3)*L3 0.33 70000 =K4+(J5-J4)*L4 0.38 I then defined the Name: TaxTbl to refer to this range (J2:L5) With your income in A1, the tax is given by the formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,2)+(A1-VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,1))*VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,3) As you can see, you can easily modify and/or extend the table if/when tax rates change. --ron |

Hi Ron,
I am a beginner so not so bright. :) I have c&P'd $ 0.00 $ 0.00 12.5% $14,000.00 $ 1,750.00 21.0% $48,000.00 $ 8,890.00 33.0% $70,000.00 $16,150.00 38.0% to sheet 3 and Defined it TaxTbl I have then pasted =VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,2)+(A1-VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,1))*VLOOKUP(A1,TaxTbl,3) In J30.

My guess is that your problem is the same as I suggested was the problem
with one of your other formulae. I think you've got text instead of numbers. As I said earlier, check this with the ISTEXT and ISNUMBER functions. Come back to us when you've done that. -- David Biddulph "Scoober" wrote in message ...

Hello Scoober,
Enter into cell J30: =MAX(E30*{0.125,0.21,0.33,0.38}+{0,-1190,-6950,-10450}) If you are interested in the derivation of this formula: http://sulprobil.com/html/minimax_interpolation.html Have fun, Bernd |
