This guide explains royal taxes, what they are, how they scale, and why they are not the reason you are in debt.
What Are Royal Taxes
Royal taxes are the games way to stop you from simply spamming out a certain population tier and making massive profit from it. Now this does not mean it prevents you from making money with massive populations, it just means that it seeks to slow you down. Since these are called taxes it means the tax is taking a portion of your citizens income refer to the chart. 메모: Royal taxes can NOT put you in debt, even if it is -7,382 income and you think to yourself “well if I did not have these taxes I would be making profit” the taxes do contribute to your debt if you do not manage your buildings properly but in the end since at most the taxes take 40% of a classes income it just means you need to evaluate what your money is being spent on.
Math And Scaling Of Taxes
메모: TAXES DO NOT START UNTIL YOU REACH 1000 OF A GIVEN TIER OF POPULATION
Formulas used are from the Anno 1800 Fandom Page:
Tax Rate = 1 + (인구 / 125)
because tax is rounded down
Taxes = Income x (Tax Rate / 100)
Examples used are from the Anno 1800 Fandom page:
1. 당신은 1500 farmers and 500 workers on your Island. Farmers provide you with 1500 coins of income and the workers with 1000 동전. 13% royal taxes will be deducted from your farmers’ 소득, 이는 13% × 1500 = 195 동전.
2. 당신은 6000 farmers on your island. Farmers provide you with 6000 coins of income. 40% royal taxes will be deducted from this, 이는 40% × 6000 = 2400 동전.
If instead you have 2 islands each with 3000 farmers, you still get the same income but the taxes are 25% on each island, costing you 1500 coins in total. So getting a second island saves you 900 동전.
If instead you have 3 islands each with 2000 farmers, you still get the same income but the taxes are only 17% on each island, costing you 1020 coins in total. So getting a third island saves you another 480 동전.
3. 당신은 2000 farmers and 3000 workers on one island. Farmers provide you with 2000 income and workers with 4500 소득. Tax rate for farmers is 17%, so royal taxes from farmers tier are 17% × 2000 = 340 동전. Tax rate for workers is 25%, so royal taxes from workers tier are 25% × 4500 = 1125 동전. Taxes from each tier are calculated separately and then added, in the end you pay 340 + 1125 = 1465 coins of royal taxes per minute.
결론
Taxes suck. That is nothing new. The point is if the royal taxes are putting you in debt, it’s not directly the fault of the taxes. It is you, who fixes your chains, or fills more needs.
It is a measure of how big your populations are and how much money you’re making off of them. 또한, the mechanic is not explained well. You can not run from the taxes. 잘, I guess you could. But I would not advise it
I hope I am better than turbo tax. Now go build an empire while understanding taxes.
