How much money will I need to make before taxes in order to bring in 33K?

Can you also give me the formula you use to figure it out. Oh, I am in Texas which has no state income tax single parent, one child

1. Somewhere in the region of $38,500, allowing for Federal taxes, Social Security taxes & Medicare taxes. There's no easy to calculate that but 40 years of tax experience allows me to zero in on it pretty quickly.
