The calculator applies the published tax bands to income after the supported deductions. Each band applies only to the portion inside it. These bands use the taxable income base.
This reference uses a statutory tariff formula within each zone. A formula can use a base charge and a rate on excess income, or a progressive polynomial. The calculator evaluates the versioned formula and statutory rounding; the bands below identify formula zones.
