Note that your inputwages will be rounded to match this grid.
One implication of this is that wages lower than 100/2 will be dropped (will be rounded o

Dataset consists of 1 different groups.
From here: consider one group at the time..
 
-Group 1: Create one large tax schedule using TAXSIM and do calculations

TAXSIM results will be merged to original file
TAXSIM results will be saved in taxsim_out.dta

There were 800 observations in original dataset.  
There are  800 observations with complete and correct data. 
There were 0 observations deleted due to missing or out-of-range data.
We are sending 800 observations to TAXSIM for tax data. 
taxsimid was float now str3
taxsimid was str3 now str10
(1 real change made)
obs was 800, now 801
(1 real change made)

We are displaying the last four lines of intermediate file - check for messages:
 
TAXSIM results are being merged with workspace by taxsimid
 
Final output is saved as taxcost_out_ext.dta and taxcost_out_int.dta
 
To merge the taxcost results to the current dataset, run the commands below.
 
generate taxcostid = _n
sort taxcostid
merge taxcostid using taxcost_out_XX
 
where XX equals either int or ext, depending on which margin you want the results for.
Don't merge both at the same time, that will cause some variables to overlap.
 
Use the options replace_int and replace_ext to avoid merging by hand.
These can be used either by themselves or at the same time.

. generate taxcostid=_n

. sort taxcostid

. merge taxcostid using taxcost_out_ext
using data not sorted
