Example Calculation

Let's say you had a taxable income of $60,000 in 2014. Here's how the calculator would compute your estimated tax liability:

Federal Tax Calculation: $45,282 × 15% = $6,792.30 ($60,000 - $45,282) × 20.5% = $3,056.49 Total Federal Tax = $6,792.30 + $3,056.49 = $9,848.79 Ontario Tax Calculation: $41,923 × 15% = $6,288.45 ($60,000 - $41,923) × 20% = $3,615.54 Total Ontario Tax = $6,288.45 + $3,615.54 = $9,903.99 Total Estimated Tax = $9,848.79 + $9,903.99 = $19,752.78

This example shows that your estimated total tax liability for 2014 would be approximately $19,752.78.
