Worked Example

Let's calculate the Ontario tax for a single person with $60,000 annual income and no deductions.

1. Taxable income = $60,000 - $0 = $60,000 2. Provincial tax: - First $45,142 at 5.05% = $2,264.23 - Next $14,858 at 9.15% = $1,354.94 - Total provincial tax = $2,264.23 + $1,354.94 = $3,619.17 3. Ontario Health Tax (OHT) = 1.5% of $60,000 = $900 4. Total tax = $3,619.17 + $900 = $4,519.17 5. Net income = $60,000 - $4,519.17 = $55,480.83

This example shows that a single person with $60,000 income would pay approximately $4,519.17 in Ontario taxes, leaving them with about $55,480.83 in take-home pay.
