Tax is calculated using the formula:

Tax amount = (% Tax)

After-tax income can be calculated using the formula:

After-tax income = (1 - %tax / 100) * Income

We are given that:

% tax = 40%

Say for the income, this is only the amount needed for the Mercedes so, Income = $60,000

After-tax income = (1 – 40 / 100) * $60,000

After-tax income = $36,000
