Question

A wage earner pays 34% of her salary in income tax. How much income tax must she pay if her income is $35,000?

Answer 1

11,900.

Answer 2

If you are in the United States you shouldn't be paying anywhere near 34%.  Last year, if you were single and had a taxable income (that's after all deductions) of $35,000 you should have paid $5314,

which is 15% of your salary.

Hope this helps
