The time at the new job was calculated as follows: The Table D -2 Procedure for Calculating Time at Data Provided As ! Time at New Job Years)` Days Days / 365 Weeks Weeks / 52 Months Months / 12 Years Same Still Have Job I (Survey Date --- Start Date at New Job) / 365 New Job information on start date at the new job in the above table was requested in the survey as month, day, and year. Many of the respondents that indicated that they found a job during calendar year 2008 did not provided one or more pieces of this information. In these cases, the midpoint of the quarter were used to estimate the start date of the job. (d) Calculate cumulative additional income earned The benefits of finding a job during calendar year 2008 are accrued to the government over the entire period that that job is held. The cumulative additional income taxed is calculated as: (Change in Annual Income) x (Time at New Job) Assumption: The underlying assumption here is that for those respondents who had a previous job and moved to a new one during calendar year 2008, had they not received the new job, they would have continued in their old job. This is a conservative assumption because not knowing how they long they would have continued in their old job this assumption gives the lowest value for cumulative income. Note: The above formula for calculating cumulative additional does not use any discounting of tax revenue earned over multiple years. This is a reasonable assumption given that the average time at new job is about one year and two months. (e) Calculate additional taxes paid Additional taxes paid are calculated by applying the tax rates to the above - calculated cumulative additional income.
