More than 80 percent of the tax increase would be paid by households making about $54,000 or less.

97 percent would be paid by those making less than about $100,000.

Households… making less than about $27,000 annually would pay an average of nearly $1,000 more in taxes in 2022, reducing their after-tax incomes by nearly 6 percent.

Low-income families with children would pay the most.
