Ideas in this flowchart
- Implement income-based tax calculation with an if-else-if structure.
- Check income ranges in increasing order.
- Because the ranges are ordered, each branch only checks an upper income bound.
- The structure contains several income-range branches with corresponding tax formulas.
- If income is at most 18,150, calculate baseTax as income × 0.10.
- Else if income is at most 73,800, calculate baseTax as 1,815 + (income − 18,150) × 0.15.
- Else if income is at most 148,850, apply the corresponding tax calculation.
- For the final else branch, calculate baseTax as 127,962.50 + (income − 457,600) × 0.396.
