Effective Tax Rate Calculator
Calculate effective tax rate from pretax income and total taxes paid with net income summary.
Measure your true tax burden
The effective tax rate shows what share of pretax profit goes to taxes: $\text{Effective rate} = \dfrac{\text{Tax paid}}{\text{Pretax income}} \times 100$. It is more informative than a statutory rate when credits, deductions, and mixed income streams apply.
Pair this with the EBIT Calculator for operating profit and the Book Profit Calculator when comparing take-home amounts.
