<Sample tax table>
New Jersey tax table: 6%
To program a tax table, first make a table like the right table shown below.
Taxes Minimum breakpoint
.00 .01
.01 T .11
.02 .23
.39
.03
.04 .57
.05 .73
.06 .89
.07 1.11
.08 1.23
.09 1.39
.10 1.57
.11 1.73
.12 1.89
.13 2.11
From the tax table, calculate the differences between a minimum break point and the next one (A). Then,
from the differences, find irregular cycles (B) and regular cycles (C and D). These cycles will show you the
following items necessary to program the tax table:
T: The tax amount collected on the minimum taxable amount (Q)
Q: The minimum taxable amount
M1: The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (C)
We call this point "MAX point."
M2: The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (D)
We call this point "MAX point."
M: Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle: difference
between Q and M1 or between M1 and M2

INITIAL TAX:
LOWER TAX:
BREAK POINT1: 0.23
BREAK POINT2: 0.39
BREAK POINT3: 0.57
BREAK POINT4: 0.79
BREAK POINT5: 0.89
BREAK POINT6: 1.11
If the tax is not provided for every cent, modify the tax table by setting the tax for every
NOTE
cent in the following manner.
When setting the tax, consider the minimum breakpoint corresponding to unprovided tax to be the same as
the one corresponding to the tax provided on a large amount.
