Take your net profit and find out what tax rate applies to your personal situation. Then, multiply the net profit by that rate. For example, if your net profit is $50,000 and the tax rate is 20%, your income tax would be $10,000. Is this for a business or personal?

Look at a tax chart to figure out your tax bracket. You'll have a different rate depending on how much you make. Let's say it's 10%. Now multiply your net profit by the 10%. Finally, you multiply the net profit by that rate. So, if you made $30,000 net profit and the tax rate is 10%, you'd owe $3,000 in taxes.
