May I suggest you put comments in the source code giving the provenance of the formulas you use, e.g. the bracket ranges, intercepts, and rates. I am suspicious of what I see because there is no 25% bracket. A URL for the place where you got the formulas would help potential users gain confidence in your code.

This a good idea, which I will try to get around to implementing.

The tax brackets in this example were taken from the Australian Taxation Office here: https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Income-and-deductions/How-much-income-tax-you-pay/Individual-income-tax-rates/
