† This figure rests on a PwC tax summary, not on the statute itself. The summary is the only source on file for it.
Each figure is the tax on one more unit of a very large amount of that income, with every layer the engine models: surtaxes and uncapped social contributions included. It is the top marginal rate, not the average rate you pay on all your income.
