year from the median calculation. For companies with normalized tax rates of more than 75%, we assume 35%.
The impact of a lower corporate tax rate on company earnings is directly proportional to the difference between the current domestic tax rate and the proposed tax rate. The impact is calculated by taking the difference between the current tax rate and the proposed tax rate, and dividing it by (1-current tax rate).
To calculate the impact of a lower corporate tax rate on the S&P 500 earnings, we can divide the change in the effective tax rate by (1 – the current effective tax rate).
