Multiply your salary times the percent (don’t forget to turn the percent into a decimal to make it easier) in order to find out how much tax you would pay. $80,000x.25= $20,000 tax 3. Salary minus tax= new salary Ex. $80,000-$20,000=$60,000 4. To get your monthly income, take your new salary and divide it by 12 (number of months in a year) Ex. $60,000/12= $5,000 monthly income
