      I think you’re missing what an “effective tax rate” is. If your country’s income tax is 0% on the first 10k, 10% on the next 10k, and 20% after that and you earn 40k, your effective tax rate is:

      • 0 on the first 10k
      • 1k on the next 10k
      • 4k on the remaining 20k
      • 5k total out of 40k = 12.5% effective tax rate

      The wiki page does not show that data.
