minus-squareDavin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 hours agoIf the tax bracket for no taxes is $10k, you don’t get taxed if make under that. If the tax bracket for 5% is $10-20k, and you made $15k, the first $10k is not taxed, but the $5k is taxed at %5. So you would never make $0 after taxes, even if you made it into the hypothetical 100% tax bracket.
