    Calculating Investments
    How do I calculate the after-tax yields on foregoing investments, if I have a 28% marginal tax rate ?

    Generally, the after-tax yield is P x (1 - T), where P is the pre-tax yield, and T is your marginal tax rate.

    That little formula ought to get the job done for you.

    Note that the formula works just as well for non-taxed instruments, such as munis, as long as you remember that in such case, T = 0. Then the formula reduces to

    After-tax yield = P x (1 - 0) = P.
