Yeah, there’s probably a better set of formulas to use.

The main idea behind my idea is that people who make more pay more, whereas people who make less pay less. Additionally, those who don’t make money pay no tax as it works out mathematically.

A potential mathematical approach to equal taxation that works in any country:

1. Calculate the average income of every citizen. Let A = the average income (amount per year)
2. Set a baseline tax amount for the average (e.g. 10%). Let P = baseline tax percentage
3. Given a person’s income, calculate how far above or below they are compared to the average. Let I = a person’s income. We can calculate the difference, D, with D = I - A. A positive value means the person’s income is above average, whereas negative is below.
4. Calculate the difference as a percentage. Let Q = D / A
5. Calculate the percentage of the tax percentage. This will determine how much more or less a person will have to pay: R = Q * P
6. Finally, calculate the person’s unique tax amount: T = P + R. If R was a positive value, that means the person will pay more. If R was a negative value, they pay less. If R = 0, they pay the base amount.

Example: Let’s say the average income per year is $50,000 USD, and the baseline tax rate is 10%

So A =50,000 and P = 10% / 100 = 0.1

Given a person’s income: $30,000/yr:

I = 30,000

Calculate the difference:

D = 30,000 – 50,000 = –20,000

Q = –20,000 / 50,000 = –0.4 (–40%)

Calculate how much more/less the person pays:

R = –0.4 * 0.1 = –0.04 (–4%)

Calculate the unique tax amount:

T = 0.1 + (–0.04) = 0.1 – 0.04 = 0.06 (6%)

There might be a better set of formulas, but this is what I came up with. Let me know if I made a mistake in my math.

I too would like that TACO to go
