Determining your taxable income by subtracting eligible deductions from your total income.
Applying the Ontario provincial tax rates to your taxable income.
Calculating your federal tax liability based on your taxable income.
Combining the provincial and federal taxes to get your total tax liability.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the tax calculation works. Suppose you have a taxable income of $60,000 and you are filing as Single.

For this example, we'll use the following tax brackets:

$0 - $44,703: 5.05% provincial, 15% federal
$44,704 - $89,407: 9.15% provincial, 20.5% federal

The calculation would be as follows:

First $44,703: $44,703 × 5.05% = $2,254.72 provincial + $44,703 × 15% = $6,705.45 federal
Next $15,297 ($60,000 - $44,703): $15,297 × 9.15% = $1,398.98 provincial + $15,297 × 20.5% = $3,154.94 federal

Total Provincial Tax = $2,254.72 + $1,398.98 = $3,653.70 Total Federal Tax = $6,705.45 + $3,154.94 = $9,860.39 Total Tax = $3,653.70 + $9,860.39 = $13,514.09

So, for a taxable income of $60,000, your estimated total tax liability would be $13,514.09.
