mathmale · Answer

Generally, when one earns money, tax is withheld from one's pay.
So, imagine you earn $60, but your employer is required by your State to deduct 20% of that as a tax.  How much pay would you actually receive, in this case?

That's what @nincompoop is showing you in his/her comment, above.

Ummm...  Income is still $60.00  If it is all taxed away and a cow jumps over the moon, the income is still $60.00.

Perhaps a better question?
