1. What is the Tax Calculator?

The Tax Calculator estimates your tax liability from annual salary using the formula: Taxable Income × Tax Rate + Adjustments. It provides a quick way to estimate how much tax you'll owe based on your income and tax rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the tax equation:

Where:

• \( Taxable\ Income \) — Your annual income subject to tax (dollars)
• \( Tax\ Rate \) — The applicable tax rate (percentage)
• \( Adjustments \) — Any additional tax amounts or credits (dollars)

Explanation: The equation calculates the base tax amount by multiplying income by the tax rate, then adds any additional adjustments.

Details: Accurate tax estimation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring you meet your tax obligations.

Tips: Enter your taxable income in dollars, tax rate as a percentage (e.g., 22 for 22%), and any adjustments in dollars. All values must be valid (income ≥ 0, rate between 0-100).
