Example #1 Richie and Randi Reynolds, two married taxpayers, have 2007 TAXABLE INCOME of $130,000. The Reynolds' income would fall between:
Between	But Not Over	Base Tax	+ Rate	Of the Amount Over
$128,500	$195,850	$24,972.50	28%	$128,500

Richie and Randi Reynolds' Estimated Taxes

	= Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
	= $24,972.50 + [.28 x ($130,000 - $128,500)]
	= $24,972.50 + (.28 x $1,500)
	= $24,972.50 + $420.00
	= $25,392.50

Assuming Richie and Randi made the same amount last year, their 2007 tax bill dropped over $411, using the 2006 income tax rate table for joint married taxpayers.

Example #2

Madeline Meadow is a widow whose husband died in 2007. She has combined 2007 TAXABLE INCOME of $210,000. Her income falls between:

$195,850

Madeline Meadow's Estimated Taxes

	= Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
	= $43,830.50 + [.33 x ($210,000 - $195,850)]
	= $43,830.50 + (.33 x $14,150)
	= $43,830.50 + $4,669.50
	= $48,500

Madeline also experienced tax savings from the previous year, assuming she and her husband earned the same amount last year. Her total tax dropped $781.50 over last year, using the 2006 income tax rate table for joint married taxpayers and qualifying widow(ers).
