How to Calculate Tax Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Tax Rate.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the total amount paid in taxes ($).
   • The total amount paid in taxes ($) is given as: 10,000.
2. Next, determine the total amount earned ($).
   • The total amount earned ($) is provided as: 50,000.
3. Finally, calculate the Tax Rate using the equation above: 

TXR = AP / E * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

TXR = 10,000 / 50,000 * 100 = 20.00 (%)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
