tax = income × rate ; net = income − tax (flat-rate estimate)
Frequently asked questions
Is real income tax this simple?
No. Most countries use progressive brackets, where different slices of income are taxed at different rates. This flat-rate version is a teaching simplification, useful for a single-rate estimate.
What is take-home pay?
The money left after tax, which is what actually reaches you. The calculator shows it before and after the rate change so you can see the difference directly.
Can I use it for company tax?
Yes, for a rough view. Corporate tax is often closer to a flat rate on profit, so the model fits a bit more neatly there than for personal income.
Why does a few percent matter?
Because it applies to your whole taxable income. A 3-point rise on a decent salary quietly removes a noticeable sum every year.
