(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal extends the Making Work Pay Credit (not indexed for inflation), the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion and the
Saver's credit expansion. It creates automatic 401(k)s and IRAs and extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest income class but are included in the totals. For a description of cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax
units. The breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $19,957, 40% $37,919, 60% $66,635, 80% $111,847, 90% $160,851, 95% $224,521, 99% $590,626, 99.9% $2,706,134.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and estate
tax.
(6) Average federal tax (includes individual and corporate income tax, payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax) as a percentage of average
cash income.

(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal extends the Making Work Pay Credit (not indexed for inflation), the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion and the Saver's credit expansion. It creates automatic 401(k)s and
IRAs and extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest income class but are included in the totals. For a description of cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by dividing
by the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $13,636, 40% $25,075, 60% $42,597, 80% $68,949, 90% $98,059, 95% $138,184, 99% $356,154, 99.9%
$1,639,811.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and estate tax.
(6) Average federal tax (includes individual and corporate income tax, payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax) as a percentage of average cash income.

Note: Elderly tax units are those with either head or spouse (if filing jointly) age 65 or older.
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal extends the Making Work Pay Credit (not indexed for inflation), the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion and the Saver's credit expansion. It creates automatic 401(k)s and IRAs
and extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest income class but are included in the totals. For a description of cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by dividing by
the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $13,636, 40% $25,075, 60% $42,597, 80% $68,949, 90% $98,059, 95% $138,184, 99% $356,154, 99.9%
$1,639,811.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and estate tax.
(6) Average federal tax (includes individual and corporate income tax, payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax) as a percentage of average cash income.
