payroll program, need help simply a patterned event, new to python

so i'm learning python and decided to program a payroll for my company as practice. for the usa bi-weekly tax, there is pattern to the amount you need to pay, here is a short code for example

    if n >= 760 and n < 780:
       gt = 45
    if n >= 780 and n < 800:
       gt = 47
    if n >= 800 and n < 820:
       gt = 49
    if n >= 820 and n < 840:
       gt = 51

here n is the salary, and gt is the tax to be paid.

as you can see, the range of n is a constant 20, and tax increase by a constant 2

this is true from 720 - 1000, starting from 1000 however, the rate of the tax increases by constant 3

i want to to be able to include a salary range from 720 to 2000, is there a way to do this, or do i have to do it the hard way and write them all out?

I'd branch on your two ranges and then use some math to get the tax amount:

if n >= 720 and n < 1000:
    gt = 2*(( n - 720 ) / 20) + 41
elif n >= 1000 and n < 2000:
    gt = 3*(( n - 1000 ) / 20) + 67
