Example Calculation

Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $60,000 in 2020.

1. The first $45,142 is taxed at 5.05%: $45,142 × 0.0505 = $2,284.26
2. The next $14,858 ($60,000 - $45,142) is taxed at 9.15%: $14,858 × 0.0915 = $1,360.91
3. Total Ontario tax: $2,284.26 + $1,360.91 = $3,645.17
4. Assuming federal tax is $8,400, net income: $60,000 - ($8,400 + $3,645.17) = $47,954.83

This example shows that the Ontario tax rate for $60,000 is effectively 6.08% (3,645.17/60,000).
