Sources

Estimate. Not tax advice. The rates in this calculator are illustrative: they reproduce the shape of the charge through 2 self-test cases, but they are not the official schedule, so the amount shown will not match your bill. Use the official source above for that.

Check the arithmetic yourself: how this calculator is verified — the formula behind every derived value, the 2 test cases the engine reproduces, and what the badge does and does not claim. Also available as machine-readable JSON.
