The Average Tax Rate Definition. The average tax rate in the United States varies depending on the amount of income to which it's applied. An average tax rate as it applies to income tax may be defined as the percentage of income owed as taxes or, as Fair Tax defines the term, as the ratio of taxes paid to taxable income. In mathematical terms, divide the total tax liability by total taxable income to get the average tax rate.
