Current marginal rate tax = (18678.5/102100) * 100 = 18.3%

Explanation:

10% bracket (9700 - 0) * 0.1 = $970.0

12% bracket ($39475-$9700) *.12 = $3573

22%bracket ($84200 - 39475) *.22 = $9839.5

24%bracket[ (990000+3100) - 84200] *.24 = $4296

Total marginal rate tax = 970+3573 + 9839.5 + 4296.00 = $18678.5

Current marginal rate tax = (18678.5/102100) * 100 = 18.3%
