The 2018 Ontario tax brackets are progressive, meaning the more you earn, the higher your tax rate. Here are the tax brackets for different filing statuses:
2018 Ontario Tax Brackets
| Filing Status | Tax Bracket | Tax Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Single | $0 - $44,701 | 5.05% |
| $44,702 - $89,404 | 9.15% | |
| $89,405 - $150,000 | 11.16% | |
| $150,001 - $220,000 | 12.16% | |
| $220,001+ | 13.16% | |
| Married | $0 - $89,404 | 5.05% |
| $89,405 - $178,807 | 9.15% | |
| $178,808 - $223,500 | 11.16% | |
| $223,501 - $447,000 | 12.16% | |
| $447,001+ | 13.16% |
The tax brackets are applied progressively, meaning each portion of your income is taxed at the appropriate rate. For example, if you earn $100,000 as a single filer:
- $44,701 at 5.05% = $2,262.30
- $55,299 at 9.15% = $5,051.34
- $5,051.34 total for the first $99,999
- The remaining $1 is taxed at 11.16% = $0.01
- Total tax = $5,051.35

Worked Example
Let's calculate the income tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $75,000 in 2018.
- $44,701 at 5.05% = $2,262.30
- $30,299 at 9.15% = $2,773.34
- Total tax = $2,262.30 + $2,773.34 = $5,035.64
Therefore, the estimated provincial income tax for this filer would be $5,035.64.
