However, if the family spends more than $3,287 per month on new goods and services, they, they will have to pay the 30% tax exclusive rate on the excess amount. If the family spends their entire income of $3,333 per month, they will pay the FAIRtax on only $46 per month, $3,333 minus $3,287. That means they will pay just $13.80 per month or $165 a year out of their own pocket.
