About This Calculator
This tool provides an educational comparison of effective tax rates between two data points: your own (based on your income and an estimated effective rate) and a public figure’s reported amounts. It demonstrates how effective rates are computed and how they can vary widely based on income composition, deductions, losses, credits, timing, and reporting. The purpose is to illustrate concepts, not to render political judgments or tax advice. For accurate filing or analysis, consult authoritative sources and professional advisors.
