FA-62347 / Tax bracket computation / Member archive

Each bracket rate is applied to income measured from zero · case 02

Tax in the second bracket also re-taxes the first bracket's income.

Case contract

solve(income, brackets): brackets is [[upper, rate_percent], ...] with strictly increasing positive uppers and a final open bracket [None, rate]; otherwise return 'ERR:brackets'. Each rate applies only to the slice of income in (previous upper, upper]. Negative income is taxed as zero. The tax is summed exactly and rounded half-up to cents once, returned as integer cents.

Why this case matters

Tax computations hinge on which slice, threshold, ordering and rounding rule applies at each step; a misplaced boundary silently misstates liabilities.
