Hello! im just wondering about a thing, in Sweden the state take about 35% of our salary. We also pay 25% on every ithem we buy in the stores except for grocerys, thats 7% tax.
So what's the rate in America? Everyone is talking about how low it is over there compared to Sweden...
Every state is different. I live in NJ, where the rate is 7%, except for items like groceries or clothing, which aren't taxed.
It's about 16%. Every one who gets taxed pays different rates though. It depends on your job, how many tax breaks you get, and a lot of other things. The US is on a progressive tax system, too.
