(1) Calendar year. Baseline is the Administration's baseline (extends all of the individual income tax provisions included in 2001 EGTRRA and 2003 JGTRRA;
maintains the estate tax at its 2009 parameters; extends the 2009 AMT Patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phase-out exemption threshold
for inflation). Proposal raises the middle tax rates from 25 and 28 percent to 28 and 31 percent respectively.
(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.

(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%

AMT Patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phase-out exemption threshold for inflation). Proposal raises the middle tax rates from 25 and 28 percent to 28 and 31 percent respectively.
(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

(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 divi
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.

Note: Elderly tax units are those with either head or spouse (if filing jointly) age 65 or older.
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is the Administration's baseline (extends all of the individual income tax provisions included in 2001 EGTRRA and 2003 JGTRRA; maintains the estate tax at its 2009 parameters; extends the 2009
AMT Patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phase-out exemption threshold for inflation). Proposal raises the middle tax rates from 25 and 28 percent to 28 and 31 percent respectively.
(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.
