After-Tax Income

After-Tax Income is the amount of income that remains after all taxes have been deducted. It represents the net earnings available to an individual or business for spending, saving, or Investing. This figure is crucial for assessing financial health and making Budgetary decisions.

For individuals, after-tax income can be calculated by subtracting income tax liabilities from Gross Income. For instance, if a person earns $50,000 annually and pays $10,000 in taxes, their after-tax income would be:

• $50,000 (Gross Income) – $10,000 (taxes) = $40,000 (after-tax income)

For businesses, after-tax income is often referred to as Net Income and is calculated similarly. If a company has a Revenue of $1,000,000 and incurs $300,000 in taxes, the calculation would be:

• $1,000,000 (Revenue) – $300,000 (taxes) = $700,000 (after-tax income)

After-tax income is important for financial planning, as it determines how much Money can be allocated for investments, savings, and other expenditures.
