    tax rate applicable for the year 2017 for married people filing separately is 28% + 14693.75 for taxable income pver $75600.

    total tax = $80000 + $30000 = $110000

    marginal rate = (total tax at $110000 - total tax at $80000) / ($110000 - $80000)

    = [ (28% (110000 - 75600) + 14693.75) - 28% (80000 - 75600) + 14693.75) ] / (110000 - 80000)

    = ($24325.75 - 15925.75) / (110000 - 80000)

    = 28%
