• Almost everyone is concerned about how much we pay in taxes. The best way to determine how much tax you pay is to state your tax as an effective tax rate. An effective tax rate is the percentage of your income you pay in taxes. This differs from a nominal tax rate or legal tax rate. For example, a sales tax rate may be five percent (the nominal rate), but this does not mean that all people pay out five percent of their income in sales taxes. Outlays for rent, insurance, medical bills, among other things, are not subject to sales taxes. Neither, of course, are savings.
• Taxes may have three kinds of effective tax rates. • If a tax is progressive the effective tax rate increases as a person’s income
goes up. For example, a person who makes $10,000 a year may have an effective tax rate of 10%, while a person who makes $15,000 a year may have an effective rate of 18%.
• If a tax is proportional, the effective tax rate stays the same regardless of income. In this case, a person making $10,000 a year and a person making $15,000 a year both would be taxed at an effective rate of 10%. Of course, the person making $15,000 a year would pay more total dollars in taxes. A proportional tax is sometimes called a flat tax.
• If a tax is regressive, the effective tax rate decreases as income goes up. For example, a person making $10,000 a year might pay an effective tax rate of 10%, while a person who makes $15,000 a year might pay an effective tax rate of 8%.

• DEFINITION of 'Fiscal Policy'• Government spending policies that influence
macroeconomic conditions. Through fiscal policy, regulators attempt to improve unemployment rates, control inflation, stabilize business cycles and influence interest rates in an effort to control the economy. Fiscal policy is largely based on the ideas of British economist John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946), who believed governments could change economic performance by adjusting tax rates and government spending.
