Total Tax = (Taxable Income × Ontario Tax Rate) + (Taxable Income × Federal Tax Rate)

Where Ontario Tax Rate and Federal Tax Rate are the applicable rates for your income bracket.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example calculation for someone with a taxable income of $80,000.

  1. First $49,020 at 5.05% = $2,451.01
  2. Next $30,980 at 9.15% = $2,831.98
  3. Total Ontario tax = $2,451.01 + $2,831.98 = $5,282.99
  4. Federal tax (using 2024 rates) = $12,872.00
  5. Total tax payable = $5,282.99 + $12,872.00 = $18,154.99

This example shows the estimated tax liability for someone earning $80,000 in Ontario for 2024.
