Welcome: Optimal Tax Rate

Welcome all members of the TWTL2 blog.

In this blog I will try to give you some tips for the betterment of your Kingory World.

Firstly, Tax Rates.

Gold is an essential resource in Kingory, and even if you have plenty now, research later on will cost you a lot more than you already have.

A couple of key points about Tax:

1. As you increase your tax rate, allegiance decreases. The formula is as follows

Tax Rate + Allegiance = 100.

When you get attacked and lose, your allegiance decreases. So, if you are getting attacked, either relocate or ignore this.

2. As you increase your tax rate (decrease your allegiance), your population will fall. The formula for your current population is as follows.

Current Population = Max Population * Allegiance

Using our other equation, we have

Current Population = Max Population * (100-Tax rate)

3. The most important part of the Tax Rate. You gain the maximum income from tax when your tax rate is 50%. The below link will show you a spreadsheet I just whipped up. It shows you how your current population and gross tax income changes with a change in your tax rate.




4. Idle Population is useless. Unless you plan on a mass recruitment of troops, that is.

So, in conclusion, if you have any spare population and your tax rate is below 50%, increase it until you have a minimal amount of idle population.
If your tax rate is above 50%, decrease it to 50%.
