Worked Example

Let's calculate the Ontario income tax for a single taxpayer with $50,000 taxable income in 2015.

First $41,908 at 5.05%: $41,908 × 0.0505 = $2,117.42
Next $8,092 ($50,000 - $41,908) at 9.15%: $8,092 × 0.0915 = $738.85
Total Ontario Tax: $2,117.42 + $738.85 = $2,856.27

Using the calculator with these inputs would show an estimated Ontario tax of $2,856.27.
