The formula

It=If1TI_t=\frac{I_f}{1-T}

gives the taxable interest rate ItI_t equivalent to the tax-free interest rate IfI_f for a person in the (100T)%(100 \cdot T) \% tax bracket. Solve for TT.

1 of 2

Our goal is to have only TT on one side.

(1T)It=If1T(1T)ItTIt=IfItTItIt=IfItTIt=IfItTItIt=IfItItT=ItIfIt\begin{align*} (1-T)I_{t}&=\frac{I_{f}}{1-T}\cdot(1-T)\\ I_{t}-TI_{t}&=I_{f}\\ I_{t}-TI_{t}-I_{t}&=I_{f}-I_{t}\\ -TI_{t}&=I_{f}-I_{t}\\ \frac{-TI_{t}}{-I_{t}}&=\frac{I_{f}-I_{t}}{-I_{t}}\\ T&=\frac{I_{t}-I_{f}}{I_{t}} \end{align*}
