Yes, that makes senses.  Traditional IRAs are a tax deduction, so the less traditional IRA contributions you make, the higher your blended rate will be.

 

The blended rate includes both regular tax and self-employment tax. The formula is tax liability divided by taxable income. This rate is for your information only. It is not used anywhere else.
