Create A Program That Will Calculate Different Tax Brackets

I have spent the past 12 hours on it and have gotten no where. I need to create a program that will calculate different tax brackets. I have tried all combinations I can think of and can't get it to work!!! I am literally about to go insane! I need the program to calculate tax will be 1% for anything up to $50000. If the tax is over $50000, you keep that 1% of $50000 and then add the remaining. So for an income in the second range, it would be 1% of $50000, and then 2% of (income - $50000). This then continues for each range.

The problem I'm having is getting it to display the correct interest rates. I am not asking for you to write it for me. I want to learn. But at this point I have exhausted all resources available to me.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Project3taxinfo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final double RATE1 = 0.01; //1% tax on the first $50,000
final double RATE2 = 0.02; //2% tax on the amount over $50,000 up to $75,000
final double RATE3 = 0.03; //3% tax on the amount over $75,000 up to $100,000
final double RATE4 = 0.04; //4% tax on the amount over $100,000 up to $250,000
final double RATE5 = 0.05; //5% tax on the amount over $250,000 up to $500,000
final double RATE6 = 0.06; //6% tax on the amount over $500,000
