ProPublica* reported that billionaires pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth, sometimes, even nothing. Their records show that the wealthiest can legally pay income taxes amounting to a tiny fraction of the billions their fortunes grow each year. The median American household earned about $70,000 annually and paid about 14% in federal taxes. The highest income tax rate of 37% applies for couples on earnings above $628,300. However, the 25 wealthiest Americans paid a true tax rate of only 3.4%.

You will need sound financial advisors to achieve such tax rates. But as technologists, open source can help you in two remarkable ways. You can save significantly by using open source software, and you can use the below personal finance solutions to manage your wealth.

Personal finance helps individuals and families handle their financial management.
