The tax baseline is the basic rate at which property taxes are charged (i.e. the rent at an island with 0% additional tax).

Baseline rent
Shoppe Deluxe stall Medium stall Small stall
Tailor 6750 5500 4250 3000
Iron Monger 1750 1500 1250 1000
Shipyard 6750 5500 4196 2891
Distillery 1750 1500 1300 1000
Weavery 3625 3000 2375 1750
Apothecary 3625 3000 2500 2000
Furnisher 6750 5500 4167 3000
Fort 5500
Palace 5500

Tax baseline observed on a large island with over 250 population and 0% tax rate.
At population 250 and below, tax rate decreases linearly from the above values down to 1/4 the above values at zero population.


You can work out the additional tax payment by doing a simple sum.

<base tax> X 1.<% on island> = tax rate

For example lets take the tailors at deluxe grade on an island where the tax is at 30%...

5500 X 1.30 = 7150 (final tax payment)

<Base tax> <multiplyed by..> <1.tax rate> <equals final rate>

I am not too sure how to do the 100% tax increase but what you could do insted is multiply it by 1%, get the differnce of the base and 1% and then multiply the base by 99%, then add the 1 and 99 together, should give you the right number.
