Worked Example
Let's calculate the provincial tax for a single taxpayer with $60,000 taxable income in 2015.
- First $42,965 at 5.05%: $42,965 × 0.0505 = $2,171.99
- Next $17,035 ($60,000 - $42,965) at 9.15%: $17,035 × 0.0915 = $1,550.69
- Total provincial tax: $2,171.99 + $1,550.69 = $3,722.68
Using the calculator with these inputs would show $3,722.68 as the provincial tax amount.
