Federal Basic Personal Amount
2020 Personal Amount (1)	2020 Tax Rate				2019 Personal Amount	2019 Tax Rate
$13,229	15%				$12,069	15%

(1) The 2020 personal amount is increased from $12,298 to $13,229 for taxpayers with net income of $150,473 or less. For incomes above this threshold, the additional amount of $931 is reduced until it becomes zero at net income of $214,368. The marginal tax rates above have been adjusted to reflect this change. The table of marginal tax rates assumes that net income equals taxable income.

The Federal marginal rate for $150,473 to $214,368 is 29.22% because of the above-noted personal amount reduction through this tax bracket. The additional 0.22% is calculated as 15% x ($13,229 - $12,298) / ($214,368 - $150,473).
