Calculating Your Tax
Using The Worksheet, complete Step A.
4 For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step D:
The second number to be programmed is a six digit number. Follow the
instructions and examples below to determine your six digit number. In
PRG position, type the six digit number and then press the Tax 2 key.
Example: 4% State Tax Table:
• (1) First determine the multiplier
1
. The multiplier is the number which
when multiplied by the percentage rate equals a whole number as close
as possible to the number 100 and still remaining a 2 digit number. In
the example above, the multiplier is 24. The number 4 (the percentage
rate) is multiplied by 24 to determine the number 96 which is the last
two digits of the 6 digit number to be programmed: (24 x 4 = 96).
• (2) The first four digits of the 6 digit number (2400) are determined by
multiplying the number 24 by 100 (24 x 100 = 2400). The final
resulting 6 digit number to be programmed is 240096.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step D.
5 For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step E:
• In PRG position, type the individual breakpoints of the Irregular
breakpoint pattern and press the Tax 2 key after each breakpoint. Place
the number 10 before the last breakpoint entry.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step E.
6 For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step F:
(2)100(1) 4 4% Tax Table Rate
x 24 x 24 Multiplier
2400 96 Result: The six digit number to be
programmed is 240096
1. The easiest way to determine the multiplier is to divide the number 100 by the percentage
rate until the result is a whole number as close to 100 as possible and still remaining a 2 digit
number.
