If your income range is between $6,147 and $14,570, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 2%. If your income range is between $14,571 and $22,996, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 4%. If your income range is between $22,997 and $31,924, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 6%. If your income range is between $31,925 and $40,345, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 8%.
