Taxes

Graduated rate

A progressive tax system is one where the amount of tax paid increases as the taxable income increases. This is also known as a marginal tax rate. In simpler terms, as a person's income goes up, the percentage of tax they pay on that income also increases. This is often used to distribute the burden of taxes more fairly among different income levels. Understanding progressive tax rates is important for anyone interested in finance or economics.
