Formula Used

The Ontario provincial tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. The formula is:

Ontario Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) for each bracket

The 2020 Ontario tax brackets are as follows:

Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $44,718 5.05%
$44,719 - $89,435 9.15%
$89,436 - $150,000 11.16%
$150,001 - $220,000 12.16%
Over $220,000 13.16%

For example, if your taxable income is $50,000:

  • $44,718 × 5.05% = $2,260.84
  • ($50,000 - $44,718) × 9.15% = $529.16
  • Total Ontario Tax = $2,260.84 + $529.16 = $2,790.00

Worked Example

Let's calculate the Ontario provincial tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $60,000.

  1. First $44,718: $44,718 × 5.05% = $2,260.84
  2. Next $15,282 ($60,000 - $44,718): $15,282 × 9.15% = $1,393.99
  3. Total Ontario Tax: $2,260.84 + $1,393.99 = $3,654.83
