Laffer Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Revenue = Tax Rate*Taxable Base
R = tax*Tb
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Revenue - Revenue is the income that a business has from its normal business activities, generally from the sale of goods and services to customers.
Tax Rate - The Tax Rate is the ratio (usually expressed as a percentage) at which a business or person is taxed.
Taxable Base - Taxable Base refers to the portion of an individual's or entity's income, profit, property value, or other financial measure that is subject to taxation by the government.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tax Rate: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Taxable Base: 16000 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R = tax*Tb --> 8*16000

Evaluating ... ...

R = 128000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

What is Laffer Curve?

The Laffer Curve is a theoretical concept in economics that suggests there is an optimal tax rate that maximizes government revenue. The curve illustrates the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue, suggesting that at low tax rates, increasing tax rates will lead to higher revenue, but at some point, further increases in tax rates will lead to a decrease in revenue due to disincentives to work, invest, or engage in economic activity.

The Laffer Curve itself is not represented by a specific formula, but it's often depicted graphically, with tax revenue on the vertical axis and the tax rate on the horizontal axis.
However, the Laffer Curve concept can be applied in a general sense using mathematical equations to model the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue.

How to Calculate Laffer Curve?

Laffer Curve calculator uses Revenue = Tax Rate*Taxable Base to calculate the Revenue, The Laffer Curve formula visually shows the relationship between tax rates and the amount of tax revenue collected by governments. Revenue is denoted by R symbol.

How to calculate Laffer Curve using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Laffer Curve, enter Tax Rate (tax) & Taxable Base (Tb) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Laffer Curve calculation can be explained with given input values -> 128000 = 8*16000.
