INCOME TAX: In this section you will calculate the amount of income tax you will pay to
the state and federal government. Your tax bracket is based on the amount of income from
employment listed in the income section above. For example, if you make $15,000, you would
pay 2% of that amount to the state government and another 10% to the federal government.
EX: To find state income tax on $15,000, change 2% into a decimal and multiply.
State Income Tax= 15,000 (0.02)= 300
Federal Income Tax- 15,000 (.10)=1,500
*The total amount of income tax that you would pay on $15, 000 is $1,800.
