Tax Free Income (man, wife and 4 children)  1200+300+4×250=2500  Remain 2 children are dependent  relatives so addl 400 deduction.  2500+400=2900  250 for insurance  so total tax free income=2900+250  =3150  Taxable Income=8500−3150=4350  Tax=2000×10%+2000×15%+350×20%  =200+300+70=570  Net Icome=8500−570=7930  The question does not state whether  8500 is monthly
