Fixed-Income Tax Yield Calculator
Explore how federal, state, local, and other tax assumptions may affect a hypothetical fixed-income yield in taxable accounts.
Results are simplified hypothetical estimates for educational purposes only. Actual tax treatment may vary by holding, jurisdiction, account type, and individual circumstances. ML Stats does not provide tax, legal, or investment advice.
Assumptions
Hypothetical holding
Presets are simplified, editable assumptions. Editing an exemption assumption clears the selected preset to show that the treatment is now user-defined. Presets do not identify or verify any specific security or fund.

How this estimate is calculated
Each entered tax rate is applied only to the portion modeled as taxable for that category. Tax drag is subtracted from nominal yield without rounding intermediate values.
The model adds the selected tax rates. It does not model deductions, phaseouts, alternative minimum tax, tax credits, expense offsets, or interactions among jurisdictions.
This tool compares hypothetical yield outcomes and does not calculate or estimate your actual tax liability.
Illustration
Hypothetical fixed-income comparison
Example only, using a 24% federal rate, 8% state rate, and no local or additional tax. This is not a recommendation or an estimate of actual tax liability.
