Hello Steve,

The "after-tax rate of return" is the rate of return after income taxes are paid.

A rough formula would be (r - t)/(y X i) or the return (income from the investment) – taxes paid with respect to the return divided by the years or period of investment and the amount of the initial investment.

Good luck!
