- Tax Rate = The applicable Ontario tax rate based on your filing status and income bracket
- Deductions = Any applicable deductions that reduce your taxable income
- Credits = Any applicable tax credits that reduce your tax liability

- Enter $80,000 in the "Taxable Income" field.
- Select "Single" as your filing status.
- Click the "Calculate" button.
The calculator will determine your tax liability as follows:
Example Calculation
Taxable Income: $80,000
Filing Status: Single
Tax Brackets:
- $0 - $45,142: $45,142 × 5.05% = $2,264.33
- $45,142 - $80,000: ($80,000 - $45,142) × 9.15% = $31,858.63
Total Tax: $2,264.33 + $31,858.63 = $34,122.96
Based on this example, your estimated Ontario income tax for 2020 would be $34,122.96.
