How brackets work
A progressive bracket system only taxes the portion of income that falls inside each band at that band's rate — not your entire income at the top rate you reach. For example, if the first FC30,800,000 of income is taxed at a lower rate, only income above that threshold is taxed at the next rate up.
Worked example: FC266,000,000 income
- FC0–FC30,800,000 at 8.8% → FC2,710,400
- FC30,800,000–FC123,200,000 at 16.8% → FC15,523,200
- FC123,200,000–FC266,000,000 at 24.8% → FC35,414,400
- Total estimated tax: FC53,648,000 (20.2% effective rate)
