E-Math - Math in Practical Situations - Find the Income tax payable  from the chargeable income


a) 

i) $16 000


Look at the row "On the first $20 000",  the gross income tax payable is $0.

Since $16 000 is below $20 000. (It means that anyone earning $20 000 or less 
does not have to pay income tax)

Answer : $0



ii) $38 000


= $30 000 + $8 000


Look at the row "On the first $30 000" , the gross income tax payable is $375.


Look at the next row just below, the rate is 5.75% → $8 000 x 5.75% =$460


Answer : $375+$460 = $835



iii) $55 000


= $40 000 + $15 000


Look at the row "On the first $40 000" , the gross income tax payable is $950.


Look at the next row just below, the rate is 8.75% → $15 000 x 8.75% =$1312.50


Answer : $950+$1312.50= $2 262.50



iv) $100 000


= $80 000 + $20 000


Look at the row "On the first $80 000" , the gross income tax payable is $4 450.


Look at the next row just below, the rate is 14.5% → $20 000 x 14.5% =$2 900


Answer : $4 450+$2 900= $7 350





In this post, I will take a different approach to show you how to solve the problem. Instead of explaining the methods and details on how to solve, I will instead give you the workings and solutions and I believe you can figure out on your own. 

"Income tax payable" means the actual amount of tax that you have to pay the government


"Chargeable Income" means the total annual income that is use to  calculate to  the income tax payable.

I created this Blog after my students told me that there is very little information about how to solve GCE O Level Math and Additional Math (A-Math) questions on the internet. Even if they manage to find, the solution were for very basic questions. I am a Full-time Math Tutor in Singapore. I tutor mainly in Northern Singapore (Woodlands, Chua Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang, Yishun and Sembawang). I also tutor in Johor Bahru.
