#Its not working #this is what I am trying to do

finding out the tax of a person and subtract some based on their status and dependents

my expected output is the user will enter its income then will multiply how much tax

#will be deducted and will also deduct some based on their status and how many #dependents

#they have.

*#Income: 500000

#Status: Married

#Dependents: 3

#Tax = 25000****

>Solution :

Code:

• You are using status in totalTax instead of S.
• You must add .upper() to convert all the input strings to upper case as you have used uppercase in if statements.

income = float(input("your income: "))
if income <= 100000:
    initialIncome = income * .5 
elif income in range (100001,250000):
    initialIncome = income * .10
elif income in range (250001,500001):
    initialIncome = income * .15
elif income >= 500001:
    initialIncome = income * .20

# Here you must add upper to convert all the strings to upper case
status = input("status (s,m,w,d) ").upper()
if status == "S":
    S = 10000
elif status == "M":
    S = 20000
elif status == "W":
    S = 10000
elif status == "D":
    S = 30000

dependents = float(input("dependents num: "))
if dependents >= 5:
    dependentsPrice = 50000 *dependents
if dependents <= 5:
    dependentsPrice = 10000 * dependents

# Here status is string. I suppose you are trying to use S.
#here use dependsPrice
totalTax = initialIncome - (S + dependentsPrice) 

print(totalTax)
