    This is done because in the first two tax brackets the, the difference is taken within the brackets but it’s just that it equates to 10,000 for each sp the same applies to to the third tax bracket.

    since we identified that the tax is above the second income bracket, why did you need to use 25% of 15000 to get 3750 as opposed to using 25% of 20000? (9:40)

    • @ambermir4020
      @ambermir4020 4 года назад +12

      You have to find out how much money lies within that third bracket, so you find the difference between 35,000 and 20,000 which gives us 15,000. We don’t use the upper or lower limits in the questions where the difference between the upper and lower limits in each bracket is not constant, like in this question.

      @@ambermir4020 because in the 3rd tax bracket the difference between the highest and lowest figure is 15000 so you must calculate 25 percent of that in order to get the tax for that bracket

    Hi I have a question, why did you divide 7425 by 48000 to get Marie's monthly income percentage? Like why is this the method for finding monthly income %? 15:48

    • @gabyalves486
      @gabyalves486 3 года назад +2

      i think it’s just quicker than diving the annual tax by 12 (to get monthly) and then divide by monthly taxable income of £4000
      ie. 7425/48000 = 15.5%
      is quicker than
      7425 / 12 = £618.75 a month, then divide that by £4000 monthly income = 15%
      the calculator on screen can slow you down so it’s just better to find faster calculation methods x

    Hi , thank you very much for the video! Please at (12.30 ) I am quite confused. Why is the answer not option E -32, 000 instead of option D 31,500 since 31,600 can be rounded to 32,000?

    • @naaokailey7030
      @naaokailey7030 4 года назад +2

      It's to the nearest 500, which makes 31,600 closer than 32,000 :)

    hey, i have a question
    at 10:03 you mention that adding together the taxable amount for all three brackets gets you over 5400, which is why the salary earned must lie in the third bracket
    however at 18:00 you mention that the individual is in the 4th tax bracket based on the amount of tax he pays, however if you add up the tax brackets as you did in the other question, using that method he would lay in the third bracket as the total would come to more than 10,000.
    could you please help me out? am i looking at the question wrong?
