Calculate your effective marginal tax rate (I talk explicitly about how to calculate that in my EITC post). I’d encourage every person to spend a few minutes to forecast their new tax liability for 2018. If you have issues with my sheet, report them to me and I’ll update it accordingly. It matches dollar for dollar with my estimated 2018 spreadsheet.
