What percent of taxes did the 3rd estate pay?

The Third Estate in France, which comprised the common people, paid approximately 50% to 60% of their income in taxes before the French Revolution. This group included peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie, and shouldered the majority of the tax burden while the clergy and nobility were often exempt from many taxes. This heavy taxation contributed to widespread discontent and was a significant factor leading to the revolution.
