PROBLEM:

Given a person’s income, calculate their net income based on the tax rates given for different income brackets.

QUICK EXPLANATION:

show

Net income = Total income - Total Tax
Using if-else ladder, find the person’s income bracket. Calculate the tax for this slab and add the taxes for all previous slabs. Subtract the total tax from the income to get the net income.

EXPLANATION

show

Let’s calculate the tax the person has to pay, based on their income.

  1. The income is less than or equal to Rs. 250,000:
    The person doesn’t have to pay any tax. Thus, their tax is Rs. 0

  2. The income is greater than Rs. 250,000, but less than or equal to Rs. 500,000:
    Their tax will be 5% of the income above 250,000,
    \therefore tax = 5% of (N-250,000)

  3. The income is greater than Rs. 500,000, but less than or equal to Rs. 750,000:
    Their tax will be 10% of the income above 500,000 + tax for the slab 250,001 to 500,000
    \therefore tax =
    10% of (N-500,000) +
    5% of (500,000-250,000)

  4. The income is greater than Rs. 750,000, but less than or equal to Rs. 1,000,000:
    Their tax will be 15% of the income above 750,000 + taxes for previous slabs
    \therefore tax =
    15% of (N-750,000) +
    10% of (750,000-500,000)+
    5% of (500,000-250,000)

  5. The income is greater than Rs. 1,000,000, but less than or equal to Rs. 1,250,000:
    Their tax will be 20% of the income above 1,000,000 + taxes for previous slabs
    \therefore tax =
    20% of (N-1,000,000) +
    15% of (1,000,000-750,000) +
    10% of (750,000-500,000)+
    5% of (500,000-250,000)

  6. The income is greater than Rs. 1,250,000, but less than or equal to Rs. 1,500,000:
    Their tax will be 25% of the income above 1,250,000 + taxes for previous slabs
    \therefore tax =
    25% of (N-1,250,000) +
    20% of (1,250,000-1,000,000) +
    15% of (1,000,000-750,000) +
    10% of (750,000-500,000)+
    5% of (500,000-250,000)

  7. The income is greater than Rs. 1,500,000:
    Their tax will be 30% of the income above 1,500,000 + taxes for previous slabs
    \therefore tax =
    30% of (N-1,500,000) +
    25% of (1,500,000-1,250,000) +
    20% of (1,250,000-1,000,000) +
    15% of (1,000,000-750,000) +
    10% of (750,000-500,000)+
    5% of (500,000-250,000)

Using a simple if-else ladder, we can easily identify the income bracket a person belongs to, and calculate their total tax, as explained above.

To calculate x % of y, we can simply perform y*\frac{x}{100}.

After calculating their total tax, we can subtract it from the person’s total income, to obtain their net income. As N is a multiple of 100, using integer data types, instead of floating-point data types, works too.

Thus, to solve the problem,

  1. Identify the income bracket using if-else ladder,
  2. Obtain the total tax by calculating the tax for this bracket, and adding it with the taxes for lower brackets,
  3. Net income = Total income - Total Tax

what is wrong in the code?

You can’t print anything other than the required output of the question. Moreover, the output should be printed in the same format as specified in the question.

For this particular question, it means that you should only print the net income, after deducting tax. I commented the lines where you printed extra statements, and it resulted in AC.

Refer to this: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

I don’t know what’s wrong in my code but it takes infinitely long time to get submitted.

I AM GETTING AC IN THIS SOL PLZ HELP ME OUT WHATS WRONG IN IT

Here is my solution to the problem. It gives WA but the solution gives correct o/p for all test cases that I checked with.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	// your code goes here
	int t;
	cin>>t;
	while(t--)
	{
	    int n, tax{}, taxP=5;
	    cin>>n;
	    int si=250000;
	    while(si < n)
	    {
	      tax += (min(n, si+250000) - si)*taxP/100;
	      
	      si += 250000;
	      taxP += 5;
	    }
	    cout<<n-tax<<"\n";
	}
	return 0;
}

Can someone or @akashbhalotia please identify what is wrong with my code?

Hey @sajeed786
Thanks for sharing your doubt.

Your code keeps on calculating taxes until si < n, but in the question, it is mentioned that above Rs 1,500,000 tax rate is 30%.
Try this test case
