Goomy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So I've been doing some calculations and stuff to show how much money I will be making when I have certain amounts of infrastructure in my cities and with certain improvements. The formula provided on the Wiki for Gross income is incorrect. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the actual formula, or would be willing to help me work it out?

SoS Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Depends on several factors that affect infra:population. Pollution, land, age would need to be accounted for. It's best to find your current population per 100 infra and use that to make projections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted March 20, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2015 Gross Income is pretty straightforward if you're looking at: Population Average Income Tax Rate Color Stock Bonus (Government Bonus, if Democracy) (Treasure Bonus, if any Treasures) Population * Average Income * Tax Rate * Color Stock Bonus = Gross Income There might be a couple of exceptions that have eluded my mind, but this is pretty much how gross income is figured. 1 Quote Is there a bug?

Goomy Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 When I do that equation with my current population,average income, tax and colour bonus it comes out totally wrong :/ Quote "LMFAO nazi Goomy is the best Goomy" - Kyubey "Goomy is Perfect" - Ripper Some sort of gov for CoS #RollBezzers2k18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiney Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Remember colour bonus is * 1.08 or whatever not *0.08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomy Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I tried with both and neither worked Quote "LMFAO nazi Goomy is the best Goomy" - Kyubey "Goomy is Perfect" - Ripper Some sort of gov for CoS #RollBezzers2k18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Fire Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I tried with both and neither worked Are you sure you're calculating right? Are you accounting for alliance tax? I did mine and it's close, but there seems to be a factor not counted for.

Bored now Leafing Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Are you accounting for that tiny tiny fraction of a percent of population added based on each cities age? I am likely wrong but it is what i thought of right away as far as missing elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it population*average*color bonus*tax rate Isn't the color bonus applied to gross income before taxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for gross not net income Are you accounting for that tiny tiny fraction of a percent of population added based on each cities age? I am likely wrong but it is what i thought of right away as far as missing elements. I tried with the actual stats for my current city, using the shown population, tax rate, colour stock bonus and average income. I got an outlandishly large number Quote "LMFAO nazi Goomy is the best Goomy" - Kyubey "Goomy is Perfect" - Ripper Some sort of gov for CoS #RollBezzers2k18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomy Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 So after talking with people i think its come down to rounding. How can i precisely calculate average income, national tax and colour stock bonus?

SoS Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) So after talking with people i think its come down to rounding. How can i precisely calculate average income, national tax and colour stock bonus? I thought you wanted to project income for infra increases. If pop*average*bonus doesn't = gross you're doing the math wrong or have an error. Let's make this simple. What's your pop, average, and bonus?

Arthur James Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) i try too, but the gross income is not the exact no. as it was calculated, (it) usually few thousand dollars more than the no. provided from the game, o I wonder where did the money go? Gross income= PopulationX average income X tax X (1+the colour bonus number) - Factor X Edited March 21, 2015 by Arthur James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomy Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Population: 408,570 Avg. Income:4.89 Tax: 38.8% Colour Bonus:4.56% 408,570*4.89*0.388*(1+0.0456)= $810,536.61(rounded) That is not my Gross income, its about 7k-8k off Quote "LMFAO nazi Goomy is the best Goomy" - Kyubey "Goomy is Perfect" - Ripper Some sort of gov for CoS #RollBezzers2k18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grillick Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The color bonus displays 2 decimal places, but I understand it is calculated to 4. A rounding error in the color bonus could account for a difference of slightly under 1% Quote "It's hard to be a team player when you're omnipotent." - Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grillick Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Find the formula in Sheepy's recent announcement regarding the change in the formula, and plug in the numbers. Quote "It's hard to be a team player when you're omnipotent." - Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomy Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) i've got it.

Lilac Veritas Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) That's actually an incomplete formula you have there. Basically, calculate everything (ignore min), and if it is larger than 0.1, use 0.1 instead. Thus the max colour bonus is 10% Edited March 23, 2015 by Lilac Veritas Quote As you sow, so shall you reap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
