Effective tax rate was created by michaeld_umd

I am curious how the effective tax rate can be calculated. I know the federal tax rate and state tax rate, and imagine the effective tax rate is in some way related to these. Is it a simple sum? Or is there a formula to calculate the effective value?

Dear Michael,

The equation for the effective tax rate is:

Effective Tax Rate = [ Federal Tax Rate ÷ 100 × ( 1 - State Tax Rate ÷ 100 ) + State Tax Rate ÷ 100 ] × 100

Best regards,
Paul.
