Formula Used
The calculator uses the following steps to determine your tax liability:
Tax Calculation Steps
- Calculate taxable income: Gross income minus deductions
- Apply Ontario tax brackets to taxable income
- Calculate CPP contributions (5.95% of earnings up to the maximum contribution base)
- Calculate EI premiums (1.66% of earnings up to the maximum insurable earnings)
- Sum all deductions (tax, CPP, EI)
- Calculate net pay: Gross income minus total deductions
The Ontario tax brackets for 2023 are as follows:
| Tax Bracket | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $48,535 | 5.05% |
| $48,535.01 - $97,069 | 9.15% |
| $97,069.01 - $150,473 | 11.16% |
| $150,473.01 - $220,000 | 12.16% |
| Over $220,000 | 13.16% |
Worked Example
Let's calculate taxes for a single person with $60,000 annual income:
- Taxable income: $60,000 (no deductions in this example)
- Ontario tax:
- $48,535 × 5.05% = $2,453.84
- ($60,000 - $48,535) × 9.15% = $1,046.16
- Total Ontario tax = $2,453.84 + $1,046.16 = $3,500.00
- CPP: $60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570.00
- EI: $60,000 × 1.66% = $996.00
- Total deductions: $3,500 + $3,570 + $996 = $8,066
- Net pay: $60,000 - $8,066 = $51,934
Example Results
For $60,000 income, this person would pay approximately $3,500 in Ontario tax, $3,570 in CPP, and $996 in EI, leaving them with about $51,934 in net pay.
