Tax Calculation Formula

Total Tax Payable = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax

Where:

Federal Tax is calculated using the federal tax brackets
Provincial Tax is calculated using the Ontario tax brackets

The tax brackets for 2012 were as follows:

Income Range	Federal Tax Rate	Ontario Tax Rate
$0 - $8,779	15%	10.05%
$8,780 - $35,999	22.5%	14.95%
$36,000 - $82,600	26%	16.6%
$82,601 - $100,000	29%	17.9%
Over $100,000	33%	20.5%

The calculator applies these rates progressively to your taxable income to determine your total tax liability.

Example Calculation

Let's walk through an example calculation for someone earning $50,000 in 2012.

Example: $50,000 Income

Federal Tax Calculation:

$8,779 × 15% = $1,316.85
($35,999 - $8,779) × 22.5% = $6,272.78
($50,000 - $35,999) × 26% = $3,731.60
Total Federal Tax = $1,316.85 + $6,272.78 + $3,731.60 = $11,321.23

Provincial Tax Calculation:

$8,779 × 10.05% = $883.24
($35,999 - $8,779) × 14.95% = $4,256.16
($50,000 - $35,999) × 16.6% = $2,483.60
Total Provincial Tax = $883.24 + $4,256.16 + $2,483.60 = $7,623.00

Total Tax Payable = $11,321.23 + $7,623.00 = $18,944.23

This example shows how the progressive tax brackets apply to different portions of your income. The calculator performs these calculations automatically when you enter your income.
