Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax

Provincial Tax = Sum of (Bracket Amount × Bracket Rate)

Federal Tax = Sum of (Bracket Amount × Bracket Rate)

Worked Examples

Let's look at two examples to understand how the calculator works:

Example 1: Single Filer with $50,000 Income

For a single filer with $50,000 in taxable income:

$42,961 × 5.05% = $2,171.86 (Provincial Tax)
($50,000 - $42,961) × 9.15% = $663.49 (Provincial Tax)
Total Provincial Tax = $2,171.86 + $663.49 = $2,835.35
Federal Tax is calculated similarly using federal rates.
Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax

Example 2: Married Filer with $100,000 Income

For a married filer with $100,000 in taxable income:

$42,961 × 5.05% = $2,171.86 (Provincial Tax)
($85,923 - $42,961) × 9.15% = $3,763.49 (Provincial Tax)
($100,000 - $85,923) × 11.16% = $1,470.77 (Provincial Tax)
Total Provincial Tax = $2,171.86 + $3,763.49 + $1,470.77 = $7,406.12
Federal Tax is calculated similarly using federal rates.
Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax
