Staff adjuster: This is an employee of the insurance company and they represent the interests of their insurance company, not yours!

It would be calculated as $1,215 plus 15 percent of the amount over $12,150. If taxable income is between $46,250 and $119,400, the percentage of tax due on this amount goes up to 25 percent.
Now say your taxable income is $75,000, which puts you in the 30 percent bracket. The first $20,000 of that would be taxed at 10 percent, or $2,000. The next $30,000 would be taxed at 20 percent, or $6,000. The final $25,000 of your income is taxed at 30 percent, or $7,500. Your total tax: $15,500. Even though you're in the 30 percent bracket, you actually pay only about 20.7 percent of your income in taxes.
