2019 Ontario Tax Refund Calculator

Use this calculator to estimate your 2019 Ontario tax refund based on your income and deductions. The Ontario government provides tax refunds to eligible residents who have overpaid their taxes. This calculator helps you determine if you qualify and estimate the amount you might receive.

How the 2019 Ontario Tax Refund Calculator Works

The 2019 Ontario Tax Refund Calculator estimates your potential tax refund by considering your income, deductions, and tax credits. The Ontario government offers tax refunds to residents who have overpaid their taxes, typically through the Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) program.

Key Formula

The calculator uses the following simplified formula to estimate your refund:

Estimated Refund = (Total Income - Total Deductions - Tax Credits) × Tax Rate

Where the tax rate is based on your income bracket for 2019.

The calculator accounts for:

Your total income from all sources
Eligible deductions (such as RRSP contributions, medical expenses, and charitable donations)
Tax credits (such as the Ontario Trillium Benefit and Canada Child Benefit)
Your applicable tax rate based on income brackets for 2019

Note: This calculator provides an estimate. For an exact refund amount, consult the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or your tax professional.

How to Use the Calculator

Enter your total income for 2019 in the "Total Income" field.
Enter the total amount of eligible deductions in the "Total Deductions" field.
Enter the total tax credits you received in the "Tax Credits" field.
Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated refund.
Review the result and use the information to plan your tax strategy.

The calculator will display your estimated refund amount and provide additional details about how the calculation was made.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you had the following details for 2019:

Total Income: $50,000
Total Deductions: $8,000
Tax Credits: $2,000

Using the formula:

Estimated Refund = ($50,000 - $8,000 - $2,000) × 0.205 = $7,000 × 0.205 = $1,435

In this example, your estimated refund would be $1,435. The actual amount may vary based on your specific circumstances and the Ontario government's tax policies.
