Solution algorithm with

1. defining problem
2. Pseudo code algorithm

Design an algorithm to accept income from the user; compute the income tax to be paid and display the income and the tax payable on the screen.

Income tax calculation based on "IRAS (For YA 2012 to YA 2016)"

Have you even attempted it yourself?

As i am new and am still learning, thus i have tried and have only gotten to the defining diagram. But am still unsure if i am right, therefore i decided to seek some assistance. Kindly assist, thank you.

The core part of this is a series of if-else conditions to apply different tax rates at different income amount.

Several ways to implement. Simplistic way by most beginner programmers is multiple if else in a block.

More advanced way can involve loop or arithmetics to tally the tax amount.

Give u hint liao.

Take a look at https://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/Quick-Links/Calculators/.

To code a tax calculator is challenging. You have to determine what pay components are taxable and not, what things you are eligible for tax rebates, which year which rules are applicable, on top of the calculation of the tax depending on which income bracket you fall into.

A more sophisticated approach involves modeling the calculation into objects and rules which you can inspect at each step of the computation
