Worked Example

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

First $45,142 at 5.05%: $45,142 × 0.0505 = $2,282.96
Next $14,858 ($60,000 - $45,142) at 9.15%: $14,858 × 0.0915 = $1,360.07
Total Ontario tax: $2,282.96 + $1,360.07 = $3,643.03

This example shows how the progressive tax system applies different rates to different portions of your income.
