The part of income that is given back by the citizens of a country to the hover is the taxes. In every country, every individual is required to pay a certain percentage of their income as taxes.

In some countries, only people who are earning a certain level of money annually are required to pay their taxes. In some places, taxes are removed from the income on a monthly basis.

In some places, taxes are to be calculated and paid by the citizens themselves. In the countries where the taxes are removed from the income on a monthly basis, taxes are withheld by the company.

So in a case where 8.50 dollars are paid per hour, the total earning of 28 hours would be -

8.50 × 28 =238

After deduction of 20 per cent tax,

20% of 238 = 47.6
