Abstract: For a big class of commutative rings $ R$, every continuous $ R$-automorphism of $ R[[X_1,\ldots,X_n]]$ with the linear part the identity is in the commutator subgroup of $ \operatorname{Aut}(R[[X_1,\ldots,X_n]])$. An explicit bound for the number of commutators involved and a $ K$-theoretic interpretation of this result are provided.
