I made up this form to compare the changes for my own income/deduction combination and thought I would write it up as a HTML form. For more information on current taxes, see the U.S. Department of the Treasury This form uses the 1996 tax schedule. For details on the 1996 tax rates,


  • Wage income
  • Filing Status
  • Number of Dependents
    For comparison, put in the following and I will calculate your current taxes too:
  • Non-Wage income (Interest/Dividends)
  • Capital Gains (& Distributions)
  • Mortgage Interest, Charitable Contributions
  • Other Itemized Deductions (State/Local Tax, Medical, etc.)
