I'm an engineer, make pretty decent money, own about 25% of a house (bank owns the rest), single, no meaningful amount of investments. My income tax rate this year (that is; Federal income tax / Adjusted Gross Income * 100) was 14.22%.
A commenter below asked what my overall rate was for fed, state, ss and medicare. I added it up; and it's 26.8%.
That seems pretty fair overall. Sure, there's other taxes, social security, state taxes, property tax, etc.....but 14.22% isn't bad, on almost 70k gross.
What's all of yours? Take the poll, post in the comments.
What is too high? What is too low?
