The difference between average and marginal tax rates can best be illustrated with an example. Suppose our corporation had a taxable income of $200,000 in 2017. What was the tax bill? Using Table 2.3, we can figure our tax bill: .15($50,000) = $ 7,500.25($75,000 − 50,000) = 6,250.34($100,000 − 75,000) = 8,500.39($200,000 − 100,000) = 39,000 $61,250

Our total tax was $61,250. In our example, what is the average tax rate? We had a taxable income of $200,000 and a tax bill of $61,250, so the average tax rate is $61,250/$200,000 = 30.625 percent. What is the marginal tax rate? If we made one more dollar, the tax on that dollar would be 39 cents, so our marginal rate is 39 percent.
