How Ontario Tax Calculation Works
The Ontario tax calculation process involves several steps:

- Deductions: Subtract eligible expenses like RRSP contributions, medical expenses, and union dues.
- Taxable Income: Gross income minus deductions.
- Provincial Taxes: Calculate based on the taxable income and Ontario's progressive tax brackets.
- Net Income: Taxable income minus provincial taxes.

Worked Example
Let's calculate the Ontario tax for a single individual with a taxable income of $60,000.
- First $49,020 at 5.05%: $49,020 × 0.0505 = $2,499.99
- Next $10,980 ($60,000 - $49,020) at 9.15%: $10,980 × 0.0915 = $1,003.73
- Total Provincial Taxes: $2,499.99 + $1,003.73 = $3,503.72
- Net Income: $60,000 - $3,503.72 = $56,496.28
Using the calculator with these inputs will give you the same result.
