Oh and since the 15% is on the first "Taxable" income then you'd have to be making $46,778.00 or more in order to realize the full $185.89 savings per year with .5% cut. ($37,178.00 + $9,600.00)
I think it was $8700 (give or take). No, the tax bracket is for the first $37,178. So if you made exactly $37178 in taxable income, you pay ($37178-$9600=$27,578*0.15=)$4,136.70 in taxes.

Under the previous system, you would pay (37178-$8700=$28478*0.155=)$4,414.09

So you would save a total of $277.39
