How the formula works
Taxable Income = Gross Income − (Standard Deduction + Additional Deductions) | Refund = Tax Withheld − (Taxable Income × Tax Rate − Tax Credits)
- Total Deductions = Standard Deduction + Additional Deductions
- Taxable Income = Gross Income − Total Deductions
- Gross Tax = Taxable Income × Effective Tax Rate / 100
- Tax Owed = Gross Tax − Tax Credits
- Refund or Owed = Tax Withheld − Tax Owed (Positive = Refund, Negative = Amount Owed)
- Effective tax rate varies based on income bracket and filing status
