Question 13 • Career Planning and Development
Federal income tax rates are marginal, so each rate applies only to the portion of income within that bracket. The first $9,075 is taxed at 10%, and the rate rises most sharply after about $36,000, from 15% to 25%. Since Phung earns $116,200, portions of her income fall in the 10%, 15%, 25%, and 28% brackets. She does not pay 28% on all her income, and Florida has no state income tax.
